Puerta Nueva de Bisagra, Renaissance city gate in Toledo, Spain
The gate consists of two independent structures connected by high crenellated walls, featuring semicircular towers and decorated with the imperial coat of arms.
Originally built by Arabs as Bab-Shagra, architect Alonso de Covarrubias reconstructed the gate in Renaissance style during the 16th century under Emperor Charles V.
The gate displays influences from Arabic and Spanish Renaissance architecture, reflecting Toledo's multicultural heritage through its design and decorative elements.
Located at the northern entrance of Toledo's historic center, the gate serves as the main access point for visitors arriving from Madrid.
Between the two gate structures lies a courtyard containing statues of Emperor Charles V and Saint Eugene, the first bishop of Toledo.
