Porte Saint-Pierre, Gothic city gate in Nantes, France.
Located at 1 Rue de l'Évêché, Porte Saint-Pierre features two defensive towers and stands as the remaining section of the medieval city walls.
The gate's foundations date back to the third century Gallo-Roman period, with additional fortification elements constructed during the ninth and thirteenth centuries.
This monument represents the military architecture of medieval Nantes and includes a former residence commissioned by Bishop Guéguen above the gate structure.
The gate sits near Nantes Cathedral and Place Maréchal-Foch, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the historical center.
The structure housed the Museum of Nantes through Images from the 1920s to 1960s, displaying a model of the city's port within its walls.
