Puerta de Toledo, Gothic city gate in Ciudad Real, Spain.

The Puerta de Toledo features two rectangular towers with a central passage formed by pointed and horseshoe arches on both facades.

Construction of the gate started in 1255 under King Alfonso X and finished in 1328 during the reign of King Alfonso XI of Castile.

The stone walls display intricate architectural elements, including the Castile coat of arms and seven different stonemason marks throughout the structure.

Visitors can access the Puerta de Toledo at Plaza de la Puerta de Toledo and contact the tourist office at +34 926216486 for guided tours.

The gate served as a military fortification during the Napoleonic invasion, withstanding an assault by French troops in March 1809.
