Arco de San Martín, Medieval city gate in Burgos, Spain
The Arco de San Martín features intricate brickwork patterns and decorative elements characteristic of medieval Spanish fortification architecture from the 15th century.
Built around 1400, this gate formed an integral part of the defensive walls of Burgos, serving as a controlled entry point for merchants and travelers.
The gate exhibits Mudéjar architectural elements, reflecting the influence of Muslim craftsmen who continued working in Christian territories after the Reconquista period.
The Arco de San Martín stands along the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route, marking an important waypoint for modern travelers exploring the historic center.
The structure incorporates both defensive military features and ornamental designs, demonstrating the dual purpose of city gates in medieval Spanish urban planning.
