Description
Just a few blocks from the Monastery of St John of the Kings in Toledo Spain is the Cambron Gate. It is built over the remains of a Visigoth gate, and the current structure is in the Renaissance style with a square floor plan. It stands in the historic walls that run from the Old Bisagra Gate to San Martin Bridge. The gate located at the place where a very large water course runs out of the city during rains, and must therefore date from the earliest times. Part of the original structure is still conserved in the outer part of the gate, in the form of the opening with a square tower on either sides. The city coat of arms is in the center; this dates from Renaissance times. This is the only gate open to motor traffic.
