2 reviews of Jerez Gate

Defensive structure

This defensive structure, to ensure access to the city, was built in the early XIII century, hence the use of the brick. In 1298 Guzmán el Bueno, I Lord of Sanlúcar, repopulated the settler population and granted tax advantages. To ensure their protection he built four-gate access, the Alcázar and 2 castles at the mouth of the river. The Jerez gate was the most important and only partially preserved. It had 2 side towers, one was used for the church of San Miguel and the other was dismantled. It was designed in the form of a triumphal arch with 3 doors, a central door and 2 lateral ones for carriages and pedestrians.
