Porte de Villiers, City gate in 17th arrondissement, France
The Porte de Villiers consists of a stone entrance structure with multiple architectural elements marking the northern boundary of Paris.
During the 19th century, the Porte de Villiers served as a military checkpoint and tax collection point within the fortification walls of Paris.
The gate represents the transformation of Paris from a medieval fortified settlement to its current position as a major European capital.
Located near metro lines and bus routes, the Porte de Villiers connects the inner city with the outer districts through multiple transportation options.
The surrounding area evolved from the estate of Villare, where servants of Merovingian Kings resided before its integration into Paris in 1860.
