Puerta del Alcázar
Ávila, Spain, Spain
Puerta del Alcázar is the grandest gate in Ávila's iconic medieval city walls in Ávila, Spain, flanked by twin 20-meter towers connected by a unique semicircular arch.
Built starting in 1090 under Raymond of Burgundy as part of the 2,516-meter perimeter with 90 towers, it originally featured a moat, barbican, and drawbridge supports for defense during the Reconquista. As one of nine gates in this UNESCO World Heritage site, it served as a key entry point controlling access and goods, standing as a testament to Ávila's fortified past.
