Puerta de Toledo, Gothic city gate in Ciudad Real, Spain.
Puerta de Toledo is a Gothic city gate in Ciudad Real featuring two rectangular towers and a central passage. Both facades display pointed arches and horseshoe arch designs that characterize medieval defensive architecture.
Construction began in 1255 under King Alfonso X and was completed in 1328 during the reign of King Alfonso XI of Castile. The extended building period reflected the structure's importance as a major defensive fortification for the city.
The stone walls display intricate architectural elements, including the Castile coat of arms and seven different stonemason marks throughout the structure.
The gate is located at Plaza de la Puerta de Toledo in the city center and is easy to find. Contact the tourist office at +34 926216486 for information about guided tours or additional details about the site.
Seven different stonemason marks are visible throughout the structure, indicating that many workers participated in the construction. These marks remain visible today and provide insight into the collaborative effort required for the project.
