Stand where kings have stood. Puerta de la Macarena, also known as Arco de la Macarena, is one of the few remaining remnants of Seville's original city walls. Its current appearance results from an 18th-century renovation, during which the Islamic architectural elements were replaced by classicist style. The gate connects to the Puerta de Cordoba and is located on the northernmost entrance of the walls, closest to the Altarpiece of the Virgin of the Gate of Macarena, created by painter Manuel Rodríguez and inaugurated in 1923. It is located in the calle Resolana, against the Basílica de La Macarena and near the Hospital de las Cinco Llagas, part of the historic centre of Seville.
