Arco de los Blancos, Medieval defensive gate in Barrio del Pópulo, Cádiz, Spain
The stone archway features thick walls, robust construction, and extends through the fortified perimeter that encircles the old city section of Cádiz.
Built during the 13th century under Alfonso X's reign, this gate formed a crucial entrance point through the medieval defense system of Cádiz.
The structure combines elements of military architecture with Mudéjar design principles, reflecting the architectural traditions of medieval Spain.
Located near the old Cathedral, this gate serves as a primary entrance to explore the historic district's narrow streets and traditional buildings.
The gate maintains its original defensive features, including guard posts and strategic viewpoints that overlook the western approach to the city.
