Puerta Bab al-Mardum, 10th century city gate in Toledo, Spain
The gate features a traditional horseshoe arch design with detailed stone carvings and intricate geometric patterns along its façade extending toward the walls.
Built during the Islamic period in 900s, this entrance served as a primary access point to the city until the construction of Puerta del Sol.
The structure represents the fusion of Islamic architectural elements with local building techniques, displaying the multicultural character of medieval Toledo.
The gate stands at coordinates 39.860885, -4.024451, near Cristo de la Luz Mosque, and remains open for visitors throughout the year.
The name Bab al-Mardum translates to 'blocked gate' in Arabic, yet the structure maintains its original passage function to this day.
