Porte des Ternes, City gate in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Porte des Ternes marks the northwestern entry point of Paris with its substantial stone structure and traditional architectural elements from the fortification period.
The gate was constructed as part of the defensive wall system initiated by King Louis XIII in the early 17th century to protect Paris from external threats.
The Porte des Ternes stands at the center of a district that evolved from an independent village into a refined Parisian neighborhood with Haussmannian buildings.
Located at the intersection of major boulevards, the gate connects to multiple metro lines and serves as a reference point for orientation in the 17th arrondissement.
The structure remains one of the preserved city gates that witnessed the transformation of Les Ternes from a hamlet of 18 houses into a sophisticated urban district.
