Porte de la monnaie, City gate in Bordeaux, France.
The Porte de la Monnaie features a classical arch design with stone pedestals framing the entrance and thick modillions supporting the cornice entablature.
The construction of this gate, completed in 1759 under architect André Portier, facilitated direct access between the neighborhood and port activities.
The gate's name originates from the nearby mint workshop, reflecting the economic importance of currency production in 18th-century Bordeaux.
Located between Pont de Pierre and Pont Saint-Jean bridges along the Garonne River quays, this monument provides wheelchair access to visitors.
This gate stands as the most reserved of Bordeaux's six gates, positioned on a simple street rather than a main thoroughfare.
