Bāb al-Mardūm

Today: Puerta de Valmardón, Toledo

Place: Ṭulayṭula (Toledo)
Kind: Gate
Built: 10th century
What remains: Standing

One of the oldest gates of Toledo, built in the 10th century. Its Arabic name means "blocked up", perhaps because the Puerta del Sol took over its role, and Valmardón is the Castilian rendering of it. The neighbouring mosque of Cristo de la Luz takes its Arabic name from the gate.
