The Gate of San Andrés is a grand gate in Segovia, Spain, and is recognised as a Cultural Asset.
In Castile and León, it can be found in Segovia. The gate, also known as "Puerta de la Judera" and "Puerta del Socorro," is situated on the southern portion of the city wall and features two towers, one square and the other polygonal, a cant arch, a gallery of atypical windows, cross-shaped arrow slits, ball cornices, pyramidal battlements, and heraldic coats of arms. It is situated in a good spot with views of the Clamores valley. Juan Guas, a great stonemason, is thought to have built it, according to rumours.
The polygonal tower was severely degraded by the end of the 19th century, although it would eventually be restored to its previous appearance.
A proclamation signed by the Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, Marcelino Domingo, and the President of the Republic's temporary administration, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, and published in the Madrid Gazette on June 3, 1931, designated it as a "Historic-Artistic Monument." It is currently recognised as a Cultural Interest Asset.
