Gate of Doña Urraca

The entrance features two round towers made of stone slabs that form a continuous semicircular archway through the medieval defensive walls.

The gate belongs to the third enclosure of Zamora's medieval walls, constructed during the 13th century as part of the city's defense system.

The structure received recognition as Bien de Interés Cultural in 1874, marking its status as a protected cultural monument in Spanish heritage.

Located on Calle de San Bartolomé, the gate serves as an entrance point to the historical center and connects to other medieval landmarks.

The gate takes its name from Urraca of Zamora, who defended the city against a siege by King Sancho II between 1072 and 1076.
