A Mudéjar gate-tower of brick and glazed ceramic, built between 1315 and 1316, with the Andaquilla slope running under it. Between 1549 and 1551 Quinto Pierres Vedel removed the houses built against it to open a square in front and added a reinforcement of ashlar at its base, because damp had eroded the lower part. One can walk under its pointed vault; a restoration from 2002 to 2007 recovered the old entrance.
