hand and key - Granada, Andalucía, España - Urban Legends and Superstitions on Waymarking.com

"If you stand at the door of Justice, you will find two symbols on the threshold. On one side we find a hand and on the other side we find a key. To know its history we must go back to the time of the reign of Yusuf I. Those who built this gate made a promise.

And it is that absolutely no one could make it fall. The reason? The day that the hand could take the key would be nothing more and nothing less than the End of the World. That legend is the best known but, as often happens, there are many others that also manage to leave us speechless.

It is said that the fact that they placed the hand and the key in the Door of Justice, at that height, made it impossible for any knight on his horse to touch it. It is said that, in the event that this happened, that man would become, with full rights, the king of the Alhambra. Spectacular!"
