Gothic Mudéjar Entrance Portal with Rope Motif

This monumental entrance (early 16th-c.) carved from local limestone, features a symbolic rope motif—an allusion to the Order of Saint Francis and Spain’s maritime conquest and combines Gothic and Mudéjar elements. The portal served not just as a threshold, but as a statement of imperial faith, power, and architectural innovation.
