Good morning to all the readers of golos.io. This is my participation in the contest conducted by @jurgan In the slogan "fence competition" To consult the rules enter here

In my country, Argentina, the exterior enclosure is called a gate. In my native province (Corrientes) the most commonly used traditional gates are the so-called artistic gates. These fences have a higher cost, due to the material used and their final finish, their useful life is much greater than any other type of fence manufactured with another material, these are built with high quality iron with termination in their tips with flower lis

The gates began to be created with the purpose of architectural decoration, over the years it was adopted as an element of security. They were the French in denominating them "verge" that means fence or fence. On this occasion I present three types of fronts with similarities in the type of blinds to be used when deciding on the enclosure, the three enclosures were used artistic fences with a fleur-de-lis finish. (A classic of my province)

A little history of the birth and evolution of the gates. Initially the gates were built in wood, then they were built in bronze bars, to evolve to the constructions in modern forged irons, the so-called "modernist forges"

On the European continent the so-called forges evolved in the "XI century" with the arrival of the arts "Romanesque and Gothic" The leading blacksmiths of the time were responsible for this evolution, such as "Juan Francés, Francisco de Salamanca, Cristobal de Andino, Francisco de Villalpando, Juan Álvarez de Molina, Nicolás de Vergara el Mozo, Francisco Hernández, Juan de Arrillaga and Julio Pascual "considered as the last rejero of the history in methodology of the forge.
