General Note:: Typical of garden architecture, a pergola with a sitting ledge and a shallow pool graces the Alhambra Circle median located on the western side of Granada Boulevard. A keystone walkway separates the sitting ledge from the fountain. This walkway takes you to either the north or south corners of Granada Boulevard and the 1000 block of Alhambra Circle where structures similar in style continue architectural elements of the Granada Plaza. The Alhambra Circle median was once used as a bridle path for the early residents of Coral Gables. Both the median and the plaza are located within the Alhambra Circle Historic District.
