    This is the most characteristic gate in Monsaraz, which is carved on the inside with two standard marks for the cloth market.

    The main entrance to the town, whose robust defensive structure is protected by two semi-cylindrical turrets. The one to the west, topped by the bell tower of the clock (probably built during the time of D. Pedro II), has a ribbed roof and, at the top of the dome, a bell cast by foreign artists Diogo de Abalde and Domingos de Lastra, with an inscription from 1692.

      Most of the village is completely surrounded by a wall. There are several gates leading into it, but this one is the main gate and the largest.
