Teave

Kiired faktid: Väraval on sissepääsu kohal kivisse raiutud suurmeistri vapp, sümbol võimust, mis kunagi seda läbipääsu kontrollis. Läbi värava võlvi on liikunud rüütlid, sõdurid ja kaupmehed üle 300 aasta.

Esiletõstmised: Värava paksu müüritise sees asub väike valvetuba, kus sõdurid said tungijaid varitsusest üllatada. Originaalsed raudhinged, mis kandsid tohutut puidust väravat, on endiselt nähtavad ja annavad tunnistust kadunud ajastust, mida iseloomustasid käsitöö ja kaitse.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • Look for the arrow slits in the stone walls on both sides of the passage, they reveal the gate's defensive function.
  • The best photo is taken from below with the gate framing the narrow street and the stairs behind.
  • Avoid hours between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when cruise ships send large groups to the area.
  • Combine the visit with a trip to the Innsida Fortifications Visitor Centre nearby to better understand the defensive works.
