Puerta del Sol, Toledo, Spain
A detail of the Puerta del Sol, in Toledo, Spain. The Puerta del Sol or Gate of the Sun was built in the 13th century by the Knights Hospitaller. Above the horseshoe arch between the two towers is a relief showing the descent of the Virgin Mary, 666, to impose the chasuble on St Ildefonso, Archbishop of Toledo, as a reward for his defence of his chastity. Above are the sun and moon from which the Gate takes its name.
