A Neoclassical gate built in 1789 by Agustín Sanz and opened in 1792, shaped like a Roman triumphal arch with a central arch and two smaller ones. It was one of the twelve gates into the city and now stands on its own, on the Paseo de María Agustín. It still bears the marks of projectiles from the Sieges of 1808 and 1809.
