Puerta de San Vicente, Triumphal arch near Parque del Oeste, Madrid, Spain
The Puerta de San Vicente features a central arch with two smaller gates, decorated with Doric columns and granite stone surfaces.
King Charles III commissioned architect Francesco Sabatini to build this monumental gate in 1775, marking an entrance to the city of Madrid.
The gate represents Spanish neoclassical architecture of the late 18th century through its symmetrical design and classical architectural elements.
The current structure, completed in 1994, stands as a replica of the original gate using concrete covered with grey granite and limestone.
The original gate materials found new purpose in decorative lampposts at Glorieta de Cibeles after its 1892 dismantling.
