Both have their origins in the fourteenth century, when Alfonso VI ordered their construction in an attempt to defensively wrap the neighborhoods that had remained outside the walls of the originalRoman wall. Its name comes from the monetary activity related to the city, which maintained an important minting industry and that in a family way passed from parents to children, but this door, which was known for being transited by pilgrims making the route of theFrench way to Santiago, was not located there as a passage of goods, was a monetary point so that, through the exchange of various goods for currencies, these flowed, enriching the entire city.
It was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century, as it was the impassable and unhealthy zone, but it is the only one of the old gates of which some vestige remains today, such as the body of one of the two towers that flanked the entrance.
