One of the five ancient gates to the city, northwest of Retiro Park, known as the authentic gate of Madrid

To the northwest of Retiro Park, the Puerta de Alcalá, under restoration until 2023, was one of the five ancient gates that gave access to Madrid. In ancient times, this location marked the entrance to the city from Aragon. In 1778, Carlos III decided to build a majestic gate and appointed Sabatini to build the five-arched gate. At that time, steel gates closed the access to the city. It is often referred to as the "authentic gateway to Madrid" and takes its name from the name of the road connecting Madrid to Alcalá de Henares.

Impressionant
très grande porte sur un rond-point, impressionnant édifice. On arrive bien à s'imaginer à l'époque.

L'une des portes de Madrid marquant l'entrée de la ville... à l'époque mais maintenant située en plein cœur de la circulation de la capitale espagnole

Bon je sais que quand vous avez vu la plupart des portes à Madrid, vous avez tendance à dire qu'elles se ressemblent un peu toutes, mais celle ci située juste devant l'entrée principale du parc du Retiro, est vraiment majestueuse, le seul souci c'est que c'est vraiment bruyant à cet endroit du fait des convergences des nombreuses rues alentours.

Imposing, this gate is a beautiful effect at the crossroads of the roads. In summer, it is even more beautiful.
