Description
Puerta de la Mar (La Puerta del Mar; Gateway to the Sea) in Valencia Spain was built in 1946 in imitation of the city gate that stood on the same site. The original was built in 1801 and demolished in 1867, along with a large part of the original Christian city wall. The gate replaced a medieval one which was situated nearer to the river. Both were inspired in the triumphal arches of the Romans. The addition of the cross in the main arch is to remember those who lost their lives in the Spanish Civil War.
