Puerta de Santiago (Segovia)

The church was located to the north of the gate, just outside the walls next to the Casa de la Moneda [es].

The gate is built in the Mudéjar style, providing a strong and solid appearance, with the lower part having rusticated ashlar.

In its current construction, successive interventions can be seen, with the west façade dating back to the 13th century and the east façade with granite ashlar blocks and the remains of a decorative frame dating back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

On 26 August 2012, the Tourism Area of the City of Segovia organised the first guided tours of the monument, which have since been held every Sunday.

The rehabilitation was carried out by the Historical Heritage Foundation of Castile and León with the collaboration of the Ministry of Development.
