概要
クイックファクト: 門の入り口上部には総長の紋章が石に刻まれており、かつてこの通路を支配した権力の象徴となっている。門のヴォールトを通って、騎士たち、兵士たち、商人たちが300年以上にわたって行き交ってきた。
見どころ: 門の分厚い石壁の中には、兵士たちが侵入者を待ち伏せできた小さな詰め所がある。巨大な木製の門を支えていたオリジナルの鉄製蝶番が今も見ることができ、手工芸と防御の過去の時代を物語っている。
インサイダーヒント

- 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.
