Designed by Denman Fink and constructed in 1922, this was the first of the seven entrances planned for the city. Reported to be inspired by similar entrance gates in Spain, the 340-foot-long structure features a 40-foot arch that spans Granada Boulevard. The structure arch allows vehicles to pass underneath it entering and leaving the city.
