Why is it feminine?
Calles is feminine because it derives from Latin "callis" (not "callus"), which was a feminine noun meaning a narrow path or track. This feminine gender was maintained through Vulgar Latin and persisted into Spanish, where it remains feminine despite ending in "-e", a pattern that affects several Spanish nouns inherited from Latin feminine forms.
