"The Puerta de la Luna is an access to the Jewish quarter from the Alcázar Viejo or from Dr. Fleming street, located about 300 meters south of the Puerta de Almodóvar .
The origin, Calle de la Luna or Calle de Villaceballos, which is accessed by the Puerta de la Luna, it was a blind alley that once the Puerta de la Luna was opened in the westernmost canvas of the wall, on a palatial house of Bishop Salizanes (17th century, palace built on previous Jewish houses), an elongated passage was built through the home. After the arch and the passageway, there is access to a small square in which the fountain attached to the front wall stands out, designed in 1964 by José Rebollo and dedicated to the god Pan, symbolized by a child playing the flute, sculpted by Rafael García Rueda who he used his own son's face as a model. Above it is a baroque stone cartouche and in front, a column crowned with the image of the Virgen de Luna made of iron."
