    It is of Muslim origin, from whose time it preserves remains in the second interior body. Its name derives from the Arabic word Bab-Shagra, which means “Door of the Sagra”. It was completely rebuilt under the reigns of Carlos V and Felipe II, according to the plans of Alonso de Covarrubias. It is formed by two bodies, between which a parade ground is inserted.

    The Bisagra Gate is one of Toledo's most iconic monuments and a monumental entrance to its historic center.
    Muslim Origin: The original gate, known as the Old Bisagra Gate or Bab al-Saqra ("Sacred Gate"), was built in the 9th century during Islamic rule.
    Renaissance Reconstruction: In the 16th century, under the reigns of Charles V and Philip II, the New Bisagra Gate was built, the gate that remains today. Construction began around 1540 and was completed in 1576.
    Notable Architects: Alonso de Covarrubias, Nicolás de Vergara the Elder, Juan de Benavides, Eugenio Sánchez, among others, participated.

    Hiking

    A day visiting the UNESCO rated hilltop city of Toledo with its cathedral and Alcazar. To be honest though whoever thought of building a cathedral at the top of a 500m hill and the car park at the bottom needs speaking to. At least they put in escalators all the way to the top though (honest 🤷). Stunning, stunning place.
