    In the first medieval Sigüenza it was the main entrance of the city. In addition, in the space between the 12th century wall that houses this gate and the 15th century wall where the Portal Mayor is located, the Jewish quarter was located. Home of the artisans and merchants of Sigüenza, with the streets of Bajada del Portal Mayor, Sinagoga and Herreros.

    The Puerta el Hierro is the largest of the gates opened in the Romanesque walls of Sigüenza. Located in the highest part of the city, between Plazuela de la Cárcel and the Castillo, it was once the main entrance to the city.
    Aside from the gate itself, you can also see the ruins of one of the wall's original towers, and the Plaza del Hierro has a number of quaint medieval houses complete with ancient brackets.
