Among the original entrances to the fortress, the western gate, known as the Porta de Olivenza, stands out. This monumental, west-facing gate was one of the main entrances to the walled village. Its strategic location was crucial for communication and defense. The Olivenza Gate is a testament to the splendor of the military engineering of the time, robust and difficult to cross, with defensive elements that ensured the security of the entrances and exits, as well as the fortress itself.
