Puerta Real (Seville)

It was located at the confluence of the calles de Alfonso XII, Gravina, Goles and San Laureano, and today only is it a cloth of the wall on which it was based, in which there is embedded a stone that was part of the gate.

Without the approval of all, the members of the commission decided that finally, the king made his entrance through this gate instead de la Macarena, giving as reasons the general view that presented the arrabal, added to which was surrounded by narrow streets that caused discomfort for an event of this nature[5][6] To consequence of this entry, the gate stopped being named as until then, to adopt the name of puerta Real.

The monarch Philip IV, who visited the city in 1624 resumed the tradition history, making his swear and entrance through the puerta de la Macarena, so it came only as a special occasion.
