This road, after passing Erreginazubi near Adoberia, went up through Almika, went down through Laubidi in Ma\u00f1u to Infernuerreka and continued over the Oiangorta bridge towards Bilbao. It was the largest gate that gave entrance to the city. The gate has had different names over the centuries: Portal de Burgos in the 14th century, and Portal de la Carcel Vieja and Portal de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Remedios in the 17th and the 18th centuries. Erremedio street has been called Karzelo\u00f1a until the middle of the 19th century.

From the descriptions, it seems that it is the gate that appears as Sagarbarri in the census of the 16th century. In the census of 1511, when listing the houses by streets, it is explained that one of them extends like this, &#8220;En el Portal de San Juan fasta la Puerta de Sagarbarrico 10.&#8221; In 1514, the same: &#8220;En el Portal de San Juan fasta la puerta de Sagarbarria&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It was the street that went down from Sanjuanportal, Goiko plaza and Denderiakalea to Sanmigelportale. On the other hand, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Dendarikalea as Sagarkalea is mentioned three times: in 1589, &#8220;calle de Sagar&#8221;; in 1624, Sagarcalle12 and in 1643, again Sagar calle13. Denderiakalea, today&#8217;s Etxebarria tar Kresentzi street. In 1777, repairs were made to this gate:<br \/>\n&#8220;Pago por la obra del arco que se ha ejecutado en el portal de S. Miguel&#8221; This gate was demolished in 1829.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Ships and shipyards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rocky ground near Sanmigelportale (Artza) was the landing place for boats until Lamera was built. In front were the shipyards and the anchorage of Gazteluoste.
