El Arco de San Ildefonso, también conocido como Arco de San Ildefonso o Portal de Valencia, es un elemento arquitectónico de estilo neoclásico situado en Zaragoza, Aragón. Se construyó en el siglo XVIII como una de las puertas de entrada a la ciudad, dentro del recinto amurallado. Su diseño presenta un solo vano central con un arco de medio punto, flanqueado por pilastras y rematado con un frontón clásico. Está dedicado a San Ildefonso, arzobispo de Toledo, y tradicionalmente marcaba el acceso al barrio del mismo nombre. Aunque ha perdido parte de su contexto urbano original por las transformaciones urbanísticas, se conserva como un vestigio significativo del antiguo urbanismo zaragozano. Su valor histórico y artístico ha motivado su protección como Bien de Interés Cultural. Además, sirve como símbolo del tránsito entre el casco histórico y zonas más modernas de la ciudad.

Bonito arco echo en piedras que se nota la usura del tiempo en las mismas algunas desgastadas u erosionadas por completo antes un portal ahora los cimientos de la torre de una Iglesia de ZARAGOZA. Bonito aspecto antiguo de día y noche. MUY RECOMENDABLE
