Puerta del Vado, Medieval city gate in Toledo, Spain
The Puerta del Vado stands with four rounded arch windows on its main facade and features both brick and granite construction elements.
Built between the late 11th and early 12th centuries, this gate remained buried for centuries until its rediscovery during restoration work in 2002.
Located in the San Isidoro district, the gate reflects the evolution of Toledo's architecture through its combination of Islamic and Christian construction techniques.
The gate sits approximately 9 meters below current ground level and requires special arrangements through guided tours for access.
The structure incorporates two different arch styles: an outer semicircular brick arch and an inner horseshoe-shaped granite arch.
