The Renaissance gate that Córdoba raised beside the Roman bridge to mark the Cortes of Philip II in 1570, on the site of Roman and Islamic gates. Its construction was ordered on 18 February 1572 and Hernán Ruiz III took over; the work stopped until 1576 and was left unfinished. The inner face is a copy of 1928, and access to its interior, closed since 2020, might open at weekends.
