🏰 A medieval city gate and part of the former city fortifications.
It's located on the edge of the old town, towards the Neckar River.
The name comes from the nearby Capuchin monastery (formerly located there). The gate once served to control access to the city and protect it. Today, it's primarily a landmark and a popular subject for photographs, especially beautiful in combination with the old town.
