Puerta de Hernani del Retiro, City gate at El Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain
The iron entrance gate features metal railings and stone pillars, connecting the Alcalá Street with the northern section of El Retiro Park.
The gate, constructed in 1886 by architect José Urioste Velada, bears the name of Hernani, referencing battles during the Spanish Carlist Wars.
The entrance forms part of the 18 access points to El Retiro Park, including four monumental gates, five notable gates, and nine secondary entrances.
Visitors can access the gate from Alcalá Street, leading directly to the Paseo Salón del Estanque and the Plaza de Nicaragua within the park.
The gate stands near a fountain depicting four nereids with dolphin figures, creating a transitional space between urban Madrid and park greenery.
