Another striking landmark that just begs to be clicked. This 16th century gate was initially smaller and Baroque, but it got neo-classical makeover and moved to Independence Plaza next to Retiro park in the 19th century. It’s sculpture, design and statuary is brilliant. The four little figures of boys atop the plaza represent the four cardinal virtues – Moderation, Strength, Justice and Prudence.
