    Alcazaba Gate, 13th century.
    From the Medieval Town,

    The Alcazaba Gate in Monforte de Lemos is one of the oldest and most emblematic elements of the medieval wall surrounding this historic Galician town. Although it is known today as the "Puerta de la Alcazaba," that name is relatively modern and was assigned by a mayor at the beginning of the 20th century without any rigorous historical basis. Traditionally, this gate was known as the Puerta de las Carnicerías or Puerta de las Pescaderías, and for centuries it was simply referred to as the main gate of the town.
