Porte Saint-Vincent, City gate in Saint-Malo, France.
The entrance features two shields on its facade, with the left displaying a portcullis topped by Brittany's ermine and the right showing ermines with a crown.
Built in 1709 during the expansion of Saint-Malo's fortifications, the Porte Saint-Vincent became the primary entrance to the walled city's interior.
The gate represents the connection between maritime trade and urban development, marking the threshold between the port activities and the old town's commercial center.
The entrance serves as the main access point to Intra-Muros district, connecting directly to Saint-Vincent Street where numerous shops and restaurants are located.
The gate structure underwent modifications in 1890 when it was doubled in size to accommodate increased traffic between the port and the city center.
