Puerta del Cambrón, Renaissance city gate in Toledo, Spain.
The gate contains four towers constructed from stone and brick, featuring two defensive arches and distinctive slate-covered spires at their peaks.
Initially constructed during the Visigothic period, the gate underwent significant reconstruction in 1576 during the reign of King Philip II of Spain.
The structure incorporated a statue of Saint Leocadia and Latin verses from ancient Mozarabic hymns, reflecting the religious influences in Toledo.
The interior courtyard housed guard posts and storage facilities, while also serving as a customs checkpoint for goods entering Toledo.
The gate's name originates from the thorny bushes that grew on one of its towers before the 16th-century reconstruction.
