Puerta de Sevilla, Medieval city gate in San Basilio district, Córdoba, Spain

The Puerta de Sevilla features a single entrance with a lintel, constructed from sandstone ashlars and adorned with the Córdoba emblem on granite borders.

Originally built during the Islamic period as Bab al-Ishbiliya, the gate served as one of seven entrances to the Medina until its demolition in 1865 and reconstruction in the 1950s.

A statue of Ibn Hazm stands before the gate, commemorating the medieval scholar who authored The Collar of the Dove and influenced romantic literature.

The gate connects to numerous attractions within 500 meters, including the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, Caballerizas Reales, and the Synagogue of Córdoba.

Twin arches attached at right angles to the city wall section complement the gate structure, with a square watchtower marking its defensive character.

Location: Córdoba
