This Puerta de Estepa arch was destroyed in 1931, and was rebuilt in 1998 for the events commemorating the 250th anniversary of the granting of the Royal August Fair by King Ferdinand VI.

It is a brickwork construction which also includes red and cream-coloured limestone from El Torcal. The three large round arches form the structural base of the monument. It was used as a passageway for horses and carriages through the central arch, with pedestrian traffic through the 2 side arches.
