Postigo del Aceite, Medieval city gate in Puerto de Indias district, Seville, Spain
The stone structure features an arched entrance with carved representations of Saint Ferdinand and bishops Isidore and Leander on its facade.
Built in 1107 during Ali ibn Yusuf's reign, architect Benvenuto Tortello renovated the gate in 1573 under mayor Francisco Zapata y Cisneros's commission.
During Holy Week in Seville, religious groups gather at this gate to observe processions passing through the narrow archway.
Located near the Correos building and bordered by Dos de Mayo and Almirantazgo streets, this gate connects to the Royal Dockyards of Seville.
Interior rails were installed in the gate's structure to prevent flooding from the adjacent Guadalquivir River during high water periods.
