Toledo - Puerta Nueva de Bisagra

Along the town walls to the right of the Puerta Vieja de Bisagra is the Puerta Nueva de Bisagra, a double gateway dating in its present form from 1550 which is a magnificent example of military architecture. On the town side an inner gate flanked by towers leads into a court containing a statue of Charles V; on the outside of the main gate, which is flanked by massive round towers, is a large Imperial coat of arms.
