Porte de Strasbourg - The Strasbourg Gate (1859)
This gate is the only remaining part of the city's last fortification system. It was a drawbridge gate, and bullet holes from wars of the past two centuries are still visible. On the upper side of the gate is Memorial Room 39-45, which can be visited.
