About Vrata od Pila

Vrata od Pila, or as it is better known Pile Gate, is the main entrance to Old Town. It was one of the busiest places built in the 15th century. It used to have a wooden drawbridge which used to be pulled up at night to prevent unwelcome guests from entering the medieval, walled city. There's also a statue of St. Blaise inside who is the patron saint of Dubrovnik. The Game of Thrones tours start at the gate.
