    The Alcázar Gate in Ciudad Rodrigo is one of the historic entrances to the city walls and has great heritage and scenic value.

    It was opened in 1507 by Antonio del Águila, warden of the Alcázar, when he built the defensive barrier in that area.

    It is located next to the Castle of Henry II of Trastámara, in the section of the wall facing the Águeda River, known as the Battery, due to the cannons that were once installed there.

      This gate was opened in 1507 on the occasion of the construction of an extension to the wall that would contain two cannons. From here you can see the valley of the Águeda River, the Sierra de Gata and the Portuguese Sierra da Estrela in the distance.
