The Arch or Gate of Saint Stephen is one of the historic gates of the old walled city of Burgos, built in the 13th century to replace an older one that had become too small due to the city's growth. This gate, along with that of Saint Martin, is one of the oldest preserved, and both feature a distinctly Mudejar style, the work of Moorish builders who were part of the Mudejar construction community in Burgos.
