Puerta de Triana

On the site previously stood a gate dating from the Almohad period that was demolished to build the Puerta de Triana in 1588.

It is a singular structure with two tall and elegant facades, and this led to it being regarded as the most artistic city gate in Seville.

At the bottom of the ledge belonging to the balcony was a stele bearing this inscription: Being very powerful king of the Spains and of our provinces on the part of the world Philip II, the vast regiment of Seville judged duty, be adorned this new puerta de Triana, place in new site, promoting the work and attending its imperfection Don Juan Hurtado de Mendoza y Guzmán, Count of Orgaz, vigilant top of it flourishing city in the year of the Christian health 1588.In the gap or intermediate space between the two facades there is a large lounge called "El Castillo", which was used as a prison for prisoners belonging to the nobility; the same use that had the Torre del Oro in the late Middle Ages.

The journey of Queen Isabel II to Seville in 1868 was the trigger that prompted definitively the demolition of the gate, at the height of the revolutionary government.

Its remains were divided into two destinations, some of them served as a foundation for building of the 24th house on the calle San Eloy, house belonging to the contractor who carried out the demolition; the other remain was sold to "Aguas de Jerez", which also sold much of the fountains and cobblestone dismantled the city in that decade.
