The Puerta de Carlos V is an impressive triumphal arch in Ronda, located on the Plazuela Arquitecto Francisco Pons Sorolla. This gate was built in the 18th century during the reign of King Charles V.
The gate was designed to facilitate access to the city and has inscriptions and coats of arms referring to Charles V as the first Burgundian king of Spain. It is a beautiful example of the architecture of that period and also offers beautiful views of the city and its surroundings.

The Puerta de Carlos V in Ronda is a historic city gate that dates back to the Renaissance period. It is named after Emperor Charles V, who ruled the Spanish Empire in the 16th century.

The Charles V Gate was built as part of the restoration and expansion of Ronda's defenses after the city was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1485. The gate was built in the Renaissance period in honor of Charles V to symbolize the new Christian rule. The gate is located in the old town of Ronda, close to other historic sites such as the Puente Viejo (Old Bridge) and the Arab Baths. It is part of a system of walls and gates built in different periods, showing Ronda's Moorish origins.

The Charles V Gate is part of the old city walls that enclose the historic old town of Ronda. In the past, the gate served as an entrance to the city and was an important defense point against invaders. The city walls and their gates still bear witness to Ronda’s strategic importance.

Looks nice, but there is a lot of tourist traffic and there are no bike paths. So nothing for insecure cyclists.
