The Arco de San Benito is an impressive monument in Sahagún, located in the region of Castilla y León, Spain. It was built around 1662 by the architect Felipe Berrojo to replace the old Romanesque portal of the Monasterio de San Benito. The arch is designed as a triumphal arch, under which the N-120 passes, and is also known as "la puerta de Sahagún" (the gate of Sahagún). The monument is richly decorated with a central shield, inscriptions and sculptures of Saints Facundo and Primitivo. At the top is the royal shield, and there are also sculptures of Alfonso III and Alfonso VI, who were important protectors of the monastery.

Sahagún is a charming town and municipality in the province of León, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, and is an important point on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. Sahagún is known for its rich history and beautiful architecture, including some of the earliest examples of the Mudejar style. The town also has a number of medieval churches from the 12th and 13th centuries. One of the most notable historical events is the Battle of Sahagún in 1808, where the British light cavalry won a victory over the French troops. The town is also famous for its former Benedictine monastery, which played an important role in the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimages. Although the monastery was dissolved and largely demolished in the 19th century, it remains an important part of Sahagún's history.
