Town Gate

Sortelha
The Town Gate faced northeast and was the main entryway to the walled village. The gate has a pointed or ogival arch at the front and lowered on the back, covered with a barrel vault. An opus isodomum replaced an earlier Romanesque door. It was built after the original wall. The initialled stones of the outer ashlars, especially on the right side, are especially noteworthy.
