Puerta de San Andrés

The **Puerta de San Andrés** in Segovia, Spain is an example of ancient relics and architecture. Part of the city’s medieval fortifications, it is strategically positioned on the city’s south side, overlooking the Río Clamores. Known also as the Puerta de la Judería or the Puerta del Socorro, it has two towers, a square and a polygonal one, an arch, a gallery of irregular windows, loopholes, cornices, pyramidal battlements, and heraldic shields. It is speculated that Juan Guas, a master stonemason, may have constructed it. By the end of the 19th century, the polygonal wall tower had deteriorated and part of it had collapsed. By 1947, the polygonal wall tower was still in ruins, but it was later restored back to its original appearance. On 3 June 1931, it was declared a Monumento Histórico-Artístico. It is currently classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural.
