Puerta Del Carmen in Zaragoza: photos, reviews

About

Puerta del Carmen stands as a striking reminder of Zaragoza's storied past. Erected between 1789 and 1795 in the noble neoclassical style, its Roman triumphal arch design echoes timeless grandeur. This historic gate, the sole survivor of Zaragoza's original city wall, bears the scars of history - bullet and cannon damage from the sieges of 1808 and 1809 can still be discerned, offering a tangible link to the city's resilient spirit. Despite its location amidst bustling traffic at the crossroads of prominent avenues, it remains accessible and engaging, especially delightful for those intrigued by history and architecture. Its suitability for children ensures it's a stop the whole family can appreciate. The best vantage point is from Paseo de Pamplona, where visitors can fully admire this enduring emblem of Zaragoza.
