Also called Mayor or Castle Gate, built in 1548 to replace a previous one, being the work of Pedro Pedroso, made in homage to Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany for the honors he had granted to this town. It is one of the three gates that remain from the old wall of Viveiro. It was intended to be demolished in the last century, and in 1942 it was declared a National Monument.

The city gate of Viveiro. If you have walked along the beach and go through the city gate, you will come to the city center with its typical narrow streets. There you will find some cafes and small shops.

Three city gates and the walls of the historic old town of Viveiro are still partially preserved. The gate in honor of Emperor Carlos (German: Charles V) dates from 1548. After a few steps you reach the living room of the old town of Viveiro: the Praza Maior.
