Hiking

The third gate, located in the east of the Alba Carolina citadel, is the main entrance to the fortress itself. It is located exactly midway between the two bastions of St. Eugene and St. Capistrano. Designed in the form of a double triumphal arch, it is remarkable for both its size and the richness of its decoration.

Gate passage from the inside (city) to the outside on the outer dam area. Good view from the bridge there.

Looks more like a castle entrance than a fortress gate.
