Spain Puerta de San Vicente, Madrid

One of the historic gates of Madrid. The monarch Charles III commissioned Sabatini to build the Puerta de San Vicente in 1775, almost at the same time as the Puerta de Alcalá was built. The original structure did not last long, as it was dismantled in 1892 to make more room for the traffic. There was always a desire to rebuild it, but it wasn't until 1992 that it was approved. The first stone of the new Puerta de San Vicente was laid in 1994 in the Moncloa - Aravaca district.

Use a tripod for a long exposure. In the evening, the building is illuminated.

You can reach there by the underground, Principe Pio station. If you come by car, parking spaces are marked on the map.
