Market Gate in Elbląg, Gothic city gate in Elbląg, Poland.

The Market Gate features a rectangular brick structure with pointed-arch niches, pairs of windows, and rises 26 meters into the Elbląg skyline.

Built in 1319 as part of the first line of brick fortifications, the gate replaced earlier wooden defenses and served as one of three main entrances.

The granite gate stops display baker's shovels, commemorating a local apprentice who protected the city from Teutonic knights during the 1519-1525 war.

The gate functions as a Tourist Information Center from May through September, offering access to an observation deck with views of Old Town.

This structure stands as the only preserved section of medieval fortifications in Elbląg and contains a clock installed by Isaak Spiering in 1639.
