Najboljši čas za obisk
Arrive before 5 PM to see the gate closing ceremony, the most impressive moment of the day. Early in the morning there are the fewest people and the best light for photos.
Nasveti za proračun
Entry is free, but it is worth having small change for tips for the guards, who are happy to show the inner mechanism. The Sur city visitor card is not valid here.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Na stenah tega stolpa so še vedno vidni sledovi nizozemskih topovskih krogel iz pomorskih bitk v 19. stoletju. Trikrat na dan se od tu nadzira odpiranje in zapiranje mestnih vrat Sur, ki povezujejo staro mestno jedro z oceanom.
Poudarki: V stolpu še vedno deluje originalni mehanizem iz 18. stoletja, ki upravlja masivna železna vrata. Zvečer, ko sonce zaide nad zalivom Sur, stražarji s trobento dajo znak in vrata se slovesno zaprejo, kot pred 200 leti.
Notranji nasveti
- Once you climb to the top, you will see the entire old town of Sur and the port, worth spending 5 minutes enjoying the view.
- Photograph the gate opening ceremony from the opposite side of the bay, so the shot is most impressive.
- At noon it is especially hot here, so do not forget a head covering and water.
- If you want to see the gate mechanism up close, politely ask the guards, they usually allow it.
