The Puerta de San Vicente is one of the few remaining monumental gates in Madrid. Located at the Glorieta de San Vicente, this structure is a replica of the original gate, designed in 1775 by the Italian architect Francesco Sabatini (who also designed the Puerta de Alcalá) at the request of King Carlos III. Due to the city’s expansion, the gate was dismantled in 1890 and later reconstructed in 1995 to restore this emblematic monument to Madrid.
Situated in a prime location, the Puerta de San Vicente stands between Madrid Río and the ascent to Plaza de España, just a short distance from landmarks like Campo del Moro, the Royal Palace, and Parque del Oeste. From here, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views and capture the best photos and videos of some of Madrid’s most historic and picturesque sights.
