Puerta de la Macarena, City gate in San Gil district, Seville, Spain.

The Puerta de la Macarena stands as a yellow stone gate structure featuring classical architecture, facing the Basilica of La Macarena along calle Resolana.

Built during the Almohad period in the 12th century, this gate underwent substantial modifications between 1723 and 1795 to incorporate classical architectural elements.

The gate displays a ceramic altarpiece from 1923 depicting the Virgin of Hope of Macarena, connecting the structure to local religious traditions.

The structure remains one of three preserved gates from Seville's original defensive walls, providing visitors access to the northern section of the historic center.

During the 16th century, this entrance served as the designated point for grain imports into Seville, regulated by specific municipal trade ordinances.
