Of Moorish origin, a large part of its lower part is conserved from this period, the rest of the structure being from the 16th century. Renaissance in style with Herrerian diktats, that was conceived as a grand triumphal arch.
It has a square floor plan with a central courtyard and four angular brick towers. It can be considered to be divided into three sections, the first corresponding to the bases of the four towers that flank the entrance, this being the primitive medieval structure of masonry or coarse stonework. The rest is of brick, the last section corresponding to the four towers on the corners and the length of crenelated wall that links them.
On the inner façade there is a statue of Santa Leocadia attributed to Berruguete. It is the only gate open to traffic.
