Portes de Manosque, Medieval city gate in Manosque, France.

The gates feature thick stone walls, semicircular arches, and precise masonry work that marks the main entrances to the historical center of Manosque.

Built during the Middle Ages, these gates served as defensive structures and controlled access points for merchants, residents, and visitors entering the town.

The gates incorporate traditional Provençal architectural elements, reflecting the regional building techniques and materials common in southeastern France.

Visitors can explore these gates while walking through the old town, with guided tours available from the tourist office located 300 meters away.

The gates maintain their original Romanesque architectural features, including carved stone details and structural elements from the medieval period.
