Porte de Pantin, City gate in 19th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Porte de Pantin marks a boundary between central Paris and its outskirts, featuring architectural elements characteristic of French city gates.
Built during the expansion of Paris in the 19th century, this gate served as a checkpoint controlling the movement of people and goods into the capital.
The gate stands near the Parc de la Villette, which transformed from former slaughterhouses into a center for music and performing arts in 1987.
The location connects to public transportation through the Metro line 5 station, tramway 3b, and multiple bus routes serving the northern Paris area.
The site includes three railway tracks at its metro station, with a central track specifically designated for short-working train services to Place d'Italie.
