Bishop Odoario’s Door

Bishop Odoario’s Door

This historic gateway, designed by Ramiro Sainz, provides a unique link to the Hospital de Santa María and forms part of a National Monument.
Completed in 1928 to link the city with the Hospital de Santa María, following the legal dispute that began in 1921, when Mayor López Pérez ordered its opening by blowing up a tower, and which culminated in the declaration of the City Wall as a National Monument. The gate was designed by the architect Ramiro Sainz.
