Puerta del Almocábar, Medieval gate in Ronda, Spain

The Puerta del Almocábar consists of three consecutive doors flanked by two semicircular towers designed for defense and access control to the city.

Built in the 13th century during the Moorish period, this entrance saw Ferdinand II's forces defeat the Moors in 1485 during the Spanish Reconquest.

The gate's name derives from 'Al maqabir', referring to the Moorish cemetery that existed outside the city walls in what is now Plaza Ruedo Alameda.

The structure stands at Plazuela Arquitecto Francisco Pons Sorolla in Ronda, with guided tours available through VoiceMap GPS Audio system for enhanced visits.

The fortification includes both the original Almocábar Gate and the Renaissance-style Charles V Gate, marked by the Spanish empire eagle above its arch.
