St. Alban Gate, Basel
The St. Alban Gate (called Dalbedoor in Basel German) is a former city gate of the city of Basel and a former part of the Basel city wall. It is one of the three city gates that still exist today and is a listed building.
The St. Alban Gate was first mentioned in history in 1230. The complex was partially destroyed in the Basel earthquake of 1356, but was rebuilt from 1362 onwards. In 1374, the year of its completion, it was explicitly mentioned again in a guard order, but not as a city gate, but as a tower that the residents had to guard. It was not until 1387 that the "sant Albansthor" was mentioned in a weapons inventory.
