To the right and left of the south gate two smaller gates have been cut out of the wall.
These smaller gates were created in 1947 because of increasing vehicle traffic especially for pedestrians.

As the strongest, most extensive and best preserved medieval city wall in Scandinavia, the wall forms an important and integral part of the Visby city wall

The city wall was built from the middle of the 13th century to protect the medieval trading city and is about three and a half kilometers long. Due to renovation work in the 19th century, it is now one of the best and most completely preserved city fortifications in Europe.
