Es Portal Verified listing

From 1280 onwards, the documentation refers to Cadaqués with both the name of the castle and the town. Es Portal or the Portal de Mar consists of arches and a covered walkway that had belonged to the east portal of the medieval walled enclosure. Even today it is one of the main accesses to the original nucleus of the town. The walls inside the walkway have undergone modifications caused by openings built into the houses. On the north side, the niche of the Virgin of the Portal is noteworthy; it is in the shape of a Gothic window with a small ogee arch lintel on quarter-circle corbels. A modern image has been placed inside the niche. The ground still has the well-preserved cobbled stones, arranged narrow-edge up, so characteristic of the old quarter of Cadaqués.
