Gate of Toledo, Triumphal arch in Madrid, Spain.
The Puerta de Toledo features a monumental central arch with two lateral doors, topped by detailed stone sculptures and Madrid's coat of arms.
The gate's construction began in 1812 during French occupation, but after Spain's independence it transformed into a monument celebrating King Ferdinand VII's return.
The gate stands as a neoclassical monument created through the collaborative work of four Spanish artists: Ramón Barba, Antonio López Aguado, Valeriano Salvatierra, and José Ginés.
Located at coordinates 40.406714, -3.71162, the gate is accessible via the Puerta de Toledo metro station on Line 5 of Madrid's transportation system.
This 19-meter-high structure represents the final monumental gate constructed in Madrid, marking the historical entrance route from Andalusia to the capital.
