Currently part of the medieval castle, outside the citadel, this arch has undergone several changes over the centuries. Some authors say that it was built between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, as part of the Roman walls and as one of the gateways to the city, but was demolished in the 16th century. The year 1938 is mentioned as the date of its reconstruction, with the remains that remained integrated into buildings that have since been demolished. It is also known as the ‘Portas de Évora’ and has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.
