Arco de la Rosa, Medieval city gate in Cádiz, Spain.
The Arco de la Rosa stands as a stone archway integrated into the defensive walls of Cádiz, featuring architectural elements from different periods.
Originally named Puerta del Mar, this entrance point to the port underwent modifications in the 17th century with the addition of a chapel dedicated to Nuestra Señora del Pópulo.
The interior walls display construction techniques from the Islamic period of the 10th and 11th centuries, marking the transition between Moorish and Gothic architectural styles.
Visitors can reach the arch by following the city wall trail, with information panels providing details about the structure's military and religious significance.
The structure combines a medieval defensive gate with religious elements, as city council members gathered here for ceremonies between its two defensive towers.
