The port of Fuencarral in 1833, according to drawing and engraving of David Roberts.
The Puerta de Fuencarral was one of the portillos of the north canvas of the fence of Madrid, opened at the end of the street Ancha de San Bernardo, in the surroundings of what at the beginning of the XXI century is the Glorieta de San Bernardo (officially known as Glorieta de Ruiz-Giménez) was demolished in 1865 along with other gates such as the nearby Puerta de los Pozos.
The traveling abbot Ponz mentions it in his work as Puerta de Foncarral, apparently referring to the geographic origin of the stone that was made.
On the outskirts of the city, but close to the door, the pilgrimage of Trapillo was celebrated every April 25.
Some authors note that remains were preserved even at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
