    The Puerta del Cambrón is a historic gate located in the western part of Toledo. Also known as the Puerta de los Judíos or the Puerta de Santa Leocadia, this gate has ancient origins, probably Visigothic. Its current name comes from the thorny bushes called "cambroneras" that grew around the gate.

    The current structure is in the Renaissance style and was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century. On the interior façade, there is a statue of Saint Leocadia attributed to Berruguete. It is the only gate in Toledo open to motorized traffic.

    Of Muslim origin, it derives its name from the thorny shrimp plants that grew in that place. The gate was rebuilt in the 16th century. Also called "of the Jews" (for being the main entrance to the Toledo Jewish quarter) and "of Santa Leocadia" (for having been dedicated to this saint after its reconstruction after the expulsion of the Jews, 1492). Its reconstruction was carried out between the years 1572 to 1577, when it was baptized as the door of Saint Leocadia, whose image presides over the door under the shield of King Philip II.
