The Puerta del Alcázar is one of the ancient access gates to the walled enclosure of Ciudad Rodrigo. This gate, along with others such as the Puerta del Sol and the Puerta de Santiago, was part of the city's defensive system.

The Alcázar Gate in Ciudad Rodrigo is one of the historic entrances to the city walls and has great heritage and scenic value.
It was opened in 1507 by Antonio del Águila, warden of the Alcázar, when he built the defensive barrier in that area.
It is located next to the Castle of Henry II of Trastámara, in the section of the wall facing the Águeda River, known as the Battery, due to the cannons that were once installed there.

The renowned Puerta del Alcázar was opened for the first time in 1507 and since then it has remained open, being one of the main accesses to the walled city of Rodrigo. Before entering, be sure to take some photos towards the outskirts of the town, you can see the valley of the Águeda river, and the Sierra de Gata.
