About Porte de Pile
La Porte de Pile est l'entrée principale de la vieille ville historique de Dubrovnik côté ouest — érigée entre 1460 et 1480 dans le cadre du complexe défensif de la forteresse de Pile. Cette porte en pierre associe un arc Renaissance à un pont-levis en bois enjambant l'ancien fossé, et débouche directement sur la promenade du Stradun. Point de passage incontournable pour découvrir les remparts inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, elle se situe à environ 3 km à l'ouest de la gare routière principale de Dubrovnik.
