The gate is the result of a series of similar structures that were built at different periods. Until 1594, the gate was called Puerta de Zabala and it was going to be with the gate built in 1604 when its name changed and had a similar appearence to today's gate. It was commissioned to be emerged years after the creation of the South Seas Company by the Prince Carlos IV of the principality and the architect in charge of the work was [[Gerardo del Henar]], whose others works in the city contemplated the General Archives and several squares during a period of important changes in the urban design of Monsa. The gate substituted a previous one that existed in the same place as part of the walls that surrounded Monsa and whose gates marked the entrance to the city from the south. Although when it was completed the gate remained one of the entrances to the city, the work was one of the initial phases of the first enlargement of the grid of Monsa, which continued during the next century with the construction of several palaces in the neighbourhood of [[Conquistadores]]. However, the gate resulted severely damaged during conflicts and the Exponential invasion of the principality. Because of to this, it was going to be in 1681 when the Prince [[Fernando III]] commissioned the reconstruction of the gate on its actual form to the architect [[José de Alcobenda Bueno]].
Plans for a high-speed rail network began as early as 1970, with proposals being submitted to the Valkean government. However, funding for the project was delayed due to the collapse of the Kansallist regime in 1975, but eventually [[Valkean National Railways]] (VNR) was granted funding from Paavo Itkonen's administration in 1978. In 1980, VNR ordered 70 high-speed trains from [[Valkean Industrial Consortium|VTK]], and the first line was inaugurated in 1986, connecting the cities of [[Våren Livet]] and [[Novika]]. Since then, it has expanded to connect major cities throughout Valkea.


The structure was conceived following a {{wp|Neoclassical architecture|Neo-classical}} architectural style and emulating similar {{wp|triumphal arch}}es in other Astyrian capitals. With the tearing down of the walls surrounding Monsa, the area surrounding the gate was named ''Plaza de la Compañía'' (Square of the Company), with the gate forming one of the principal axes of the city and being transformed into part of a roundabout, which connects the Conquistadores Boulevard with the Avenida del Sitio and the Francisco Ruiz de Áravo St.

Suurnopeusrauta (SNR; Valkean, "high-speed rail") is Valkea's intercity high-speed rail service. It is operated by the state-owned Valkean Railways Group, and regularly operates at speeds between 250 and 330 km/h. The SNR network currently carries 90 million passengers every year.

Plans for a high-speed rail network began as early as 1970, with proposals being submitted to the Valkean government. However, funding for the project was delayed due to the collapse of the Kansallist regime in 1975, but eventually Valkean National Railways (VNR) was granted funding from Paavo Itkonen's administration in 1978. In 1980, VNR ordered 70 high-speed trains from VTK, and the first line was inaugurated in 1986, connecting the cities of Våren Livet and Novika. Since then, it has expanded to connect major cities throughout Valkea.

The SNR network extends to surrounding countries, with lines connecting it with Ostrothia, Nynorsk Ostlijord, and Caledonia. Several future lines are planned, including a new coastal corridor between Dagsmark and Brantevik, as well as spur lines to link the Central and Eastern corridors. (See more...)
