The Puerta de Estepa, so called because it was the entrance for travellers coming from Seville, was originally built in 1749 by the municipal master builder Martín Bogas. The central arch, of larger dimensions, was used by carriages and the side ones by pedestrians. In 1931 it was demolished due to the difficulties it presented for the city's incipient road traffic. In 1998 it was rebuilt for the 250th anniversary of the Royal August Fair of Antequera.
