Dubrovnik - Pile Gate

The Dubrovnik Pile Gate is the main entrance to which most visitors will enter the Lapad area of Dubrovnik. Formerly surrounded by a moat complete with a drawbridge that was built in 1537, the Dubrovnik Pile Gate is one of two entrances to the Lapad area. The former drawbridge is now a pedestrian walkway and the moat is a pleasant garden.

In a niche in the arch of The Dubrovnik Pile Gate stands a statue of St Blaise, carved by the famous Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic. Located within the ramparts is a door dating back to 1460.
