Bastioned Wall and Calvary Gate · Olivenza

POI

Fourth and last walled enclosure of Olivenza, dating from the seventeenth century and suffered three major sieges during the Portuguese Restoration War. A large part of the nine original bastions are preserved. The Puerta del Calvario (Calvary Gate) is the only one of the three surviving gates of the 17th century bastioned wall. It opens with a semicircular arch crowned by a triangular pediment split by the mechanism of the old drawbridge.
