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.

St. Alban Tor (called "Dalbedoor" in Basel German) is a former city gate of the city of Basel and a former part of the city wall. It is one of the three city gates that still exist today and is a listed building.

The St. Alban Tor was first mentioned in history in 1230. In the earthquake of 1356, the plant was partially destroyed, rebuilt in 1362. In 1374, the year of completion, it is explicitly mentioned again in a watch order. However, not as a city gate, but as a tower, which would have to guard the residents. It is not until 1387 that there is talk in a weapons inventory of the "Sant Albanhorst".
