Puerta de Felipe V, 18th century city gate in Ronda, Spain

The double-arched masonry gate stands at the entrance of Ronda, featuring three distinctive pinnacles at its apex and royal coats of arms.

Following the collapse of the first new bridge in 1741, this gate replaced the Arab Gate of the Bridge during King Philip V's reign in 1742.

The gate displays the coats of arms of both Anjou and Bourbon families, representing the transition of Spanish royal dynasties in the 18th century.

Located on Calle Real in the Barrio de Padre Jesus neighborhood, the gate remains accessible for visitors exploring the historic center of Ronda.

The stone inscription near the gate confirms its construction date and marks the period when Ronda needed larger entrances for increased commerce.
