Puerta de Hierros, Monumental door in Albacete, Spain.
The Puerta de Hierros is a large gate in Albacete built to serve as the main entrance to the fairgrounds. The structure features several portals arranged side by side and was crafted from iron and wood in a classical style.
The original gate was built in 1783 as a fairground entrance combining iron structures with classical wooden decoration. Over the centuries it became a recognizable landmark of the city.
The gate takes its name from the iron structure that became a city symbol over time. Visitors today see a monumental entrance that defines the character of the Albacete Fair and serves as a central reference point for the grounds.
The gate serves as an orientation point when entering the fairgrounds and displays symbols such as the city coat of arms. The central area is easy to spot and helps visitors find their way.
An exact replica of the original gate was built in 2010 in Jardinillos Park and stands across from the bullring. This copy allows visitors to see an authentic view of the classical facade.
