La Puerta del Conde (meaning The Count’s Gate) is
located in Santo Domigo, capital of the Dominican Republic. The construction of
this gate started in 1543 and is named for the Count of Peñalba, who led the
successful defense of Santo Domingo against an invading force of 13,000 British
troops in 1655.
