Less than 100 meters away from the building and serving as access to Plaza de Zocodover we can find the Arco de la Sangre, built in the 10th century under Arab occupation. Its old name was “Bab-al-yail”, (Gate of the horses) and it communicated the Alcazaba with the Medina. The current name is due to the fact that over the arch there is a small chapel of the Brotherhood of the Precious Blood of Christ.
