Porte de Montmartre, City gate in 18th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Porte de Montmartre marks an entrance point to Paris, positioned at the intersection of Boulevard Ney and Avenue de la Porte de Montmartre.

Originally part of the defensive Wall of Charles V constructed in the 14th century, this gate protected the northern approach to medieval Paris.

The gate area evolved from a military zone to a residential district, reflecting the transformation of Paris from a fortified city to a modern metropolis.

Modern transportation options near the gate include Metro line 4 at Porte de Clignancourt station and the T3b tramway running along Boulevard Ney.

The location experienced France's largest informal settlement during the early 1900s before undergoing extensive urban renewal in the 21st century.
