O

Rýchle fakty: Brána nesie nad vchodom erb veľmajstra vytesaný do kameňa, symbol moci, ktorá kedysi kontrolovala tento priechod. Cez klenbu brány prechádzali rytieri, vojaci a obchodníci viac ako 300 rokov.

Zaujímavosti: Vo vnútri hrubého muriva brány sa nachádza malá strážnica, kde mohli vojaci prepadnúť votrelcov zo zálohy. Pôvodné železné závesy, ktoré niesli obrovskú drevenú bránu, sú stále viditeľné a svedčia o dávnej dobe remesla a obrany.

Insiderské tipy

  • 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.
