    This gate, built in the middle of the 15th century, was the entrance to the castle and opened onto the suburbs of the city. It was crossed by a double drawbridge, which spanned a deep moat. The small gate was reserved for pedestrians, the larger one for vehicles and horses. The interior of the enclosure was gradually sold to individuals and residences were built there, so much so that in the 16th century the "new town", as it was called, was located within the castle enclosure. It was not until the 18th century that the moat was filled in. In the following century, the gate was reduced in height, by the removal of the 2nd floor and the machicolations.
