Town Gate
15th-16th Century
Gothic Archway
This was the main entrance to the walled enclosure (town), known as the "Town Gate" or "South Gate."
It is the only one of the three gates that once stood in the town that remains; the other two, the False Gate and the New Gate, have disappeared.
It has a pointed arch, similar to that of the castle gate, and is defended by its corresponding machicolations. A row of elegant crenellations crowns the structure.
The traces of the gate's anchoring points (hinges, etc.) are still visible in the stone.
