Introduction

The Pile Gate in Dubrovnik is one of the main entrances to the Old City, located in the western region. This outer gate was built in 1537 and features a Renaissance-style arch with a sculpture of the city's patron saint, St. Blaise, on top. A three-arch stone bridge leads to the inner gate, which was built in 1460 and is a Gothic-style structure directly connected to the city walls. The statue of St. Blaise was carved by Ivan Mestrovic, the greatest Croatian sculptor of the 20th century.
