Santiago Gate · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

Located on the south side of the city, it receives its present name from an ancient parish outside the walls dedicated to the apostle, which no longer exists today. However, during the 14th century it was known as the Gate of the Jews, because the synagogue was located next to it. The restoration that was carried out in 2002 uncovered ancient moats and barbicans, which have been drawn on the pavement, and one of the moats that protected it and whose presence can be sensed by the cigoñales for the drawbridge that remains on the facade was left uncovered.
