Very narrow and enclosed by a gate, it holds one of the most popular legends of Cordoba, which tells that the heads of the Seven Infantes de Lara were hung here from the arches of the street back in the 10th century and thus exposed to their father, Gonzalo Gustioz, Lord of Salas.
The legend, recorded on a marble plaque next to the alley, inspired the play "El moro expósito", by the Duke of Rivas and gave its name to the main street: Cabezas. The alley can be accessed from the "Casa-Museo Casa de las Cabezas: Patios de Leyenda" (House-Museum Casa de las Cabezas: Patios of Legend).
