Portillo de la Lealtad, Medieval entrance gate in Zamora, Spain.
The Portillo de la Lealtad stands between San Isidoro Church and the Cathedral, featuring a tall, narrow opening in an irregular section of the city wall.
Through this gate in 1072, nobleman Bellido Dolfos entered Zamora while being chased by El Cid after the death of King Sancho II of Castile.
The gate appears in medieval Spanish epic poems and romances that tell the story of the Siege of Zamora and its connection to royal conflicts.
Located at Postigo 6, the gate connects two parts of the city and remains accessible to pedestrians throughout the year with surrounding garden areas.
The City Council renamed it from Portillo de la Traición to Portillo de la Lealtad in 2010 to reflect Zamora's historical loyalty to the Kingdom of León.
