Pile Gate - Entrance to the Old Town in Dubrovnik
Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Editors

Western entrance to the old town of Dubrovnik, leading through the impressive old city wall

The first gate on this site was built as early as 1400 - in its present form, the Pile Gate, named after the part of the town of the same name, dates from 1537. Crossing a stone bridge and passing through the town gate, one enters the old town of Dubrovnik.
