Portillo de la Lealtad, Medieval entrance gate in Zamora, Spain.
Portillo de la Lealtad is a medieval gate in Zamora's city wall situated between San Isidoro Church and the Cathedral. The opening is tall and narrow, set within an irregular section of the fortification that links two districts of the old city.
The gate gained renown through an event in 1072 when nobleman Bellido Dolfos passed through it following the death of King Sancho II. This moment linked the gate to the political tensions of that period.
The gate appears in medieval Spanish epic poems and stories about the Siege of Zamora that describe royal conflicts and moments of loyalty.
The gate is located in the old town and remains accessible to pedestrians year-round, with garden areas nearby. The area is easy to explore on foot and provides a natural starting point to visit neighboring historic structures.
Its name was changed in 2010 to reflect Zamora's historical loyalty to the Kingdom of Leon. This renaming shows how modern perspectives can reinterpret historical sites.
