Puerta del Sol, desde el interior del recinto amurallado.


La Puerta del Sol de la ciudad de Plasencia es llamada de este modo por su orientación al este. Se trata de una monumental obra de estilo renacentista que tiene de notable el singular estudio de estereotomía en el despiece de sillares al interior y exterior y en las dovelas de los arcos, para conseguir un ángulo preciso para su orientación exacta hacia la salida del sol, consiguiendo así que los rayos solares penetren lo más posible en la llamada Calle del Sol. Sobre una moldura rectilínea, se muestra una placa, escrita en caracteres góticos, que es gemela de las de la Puerta de Trujillo y de la que existía en la Puerta Talavera. Está coronada por una imagen de la Virgen de la Estrella en su hornacina. Como en otras puertas de la ciudad, presenta esculpido el escudo de los Reyes Católicos y a su lado los de Plasencia. En la parte interior tiene una hornacina en la que se colocó una imagen en terracota de San Fulgencio, patrón de la ciudad.
