gate of el sol
Gate of El Sol

A Mudejar construction which was built in the 8th century to provide access to the Muslim medina before the expansion of the wall. When the said construction was erected, its protective function was no longer of any use, becoming a second gate for transit.

The rectangular plan is completed with a semicircular end and a large pointed arch is supported over two columns, right in front of the horseshoe arch gate. Two masonry towers are erected, one is semicircular and the other one is square, with battlements and windows.
