Arco de San Lorenzo, Medieval chapel and city gate in Jaén, Spain.
The Arco de San Lorenzo stands at the intersection of Almendros Aguilar and Madre de Dios streets, featuring Moorish tilework and a brick-vaulted interior.
Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, this structure remained after the Church of San Lorenzo collapsed in 1825, leading to the relocation of its treasures.
The chapel contains geometric Mudejar tiles, Gothic inscriptions, and a traditional altar with a crucifix against red damask background.
Visitors can access the chapel through a door within the arch's intrados on Calle Almendros Aguilar number 29.
The structure served as a baptismal site for Maximiliano of Austria in 1555 and houses the tomb of Juan de Olid, secretary to Constable Miguel Lucas.
