Description

In the mid-18th century, King Carlos III commissioned a neo-classical monument to replace the 16th century gate that acted as Madrid's entrance. The Italian architect Francesco Sabatini was assigned the job and what is now known as a sign of Madrid was created with the aid of two French and Spanish sculptors.
