Porte Sainte-Catherine, City gate in the Charles III district of Nancy, France.

The Porte Sainte-Catherine features Doric architectural elements and stands as an entrance point on the eastern side of Nancy's royal district.

Architect Richard Mique constructed this gate in 1761, and in 1768 it was relocated 300 meters to integrate with the city's defensive wall.

The gate bears decorative elements including bas-reliefs depicting commerce, agriculture, sciences, and letters, along with the Opalinski and Leszczynski family crests.

This historical monument is situated at 4 Boulevard du 26e Régiment d'Infanterie, accessible from the Place Stanislas area of Nancy.

During the French Revolution, authorities renamed it Porte des Volontaires-Nationaux to honor local fighters who faced Prussian forces in 1792.
