Porte Notre-Dame, Medieval gate in Pernes-les-Fontaines, France.
The Notre-Dame Gate features two semicircular towers framing a main passage, with arrow slits and gun ports integrated into the stone structure.
Built in 1548 with a drawbridge, the gate underwent substantial modifications in 1681 when the drawbridge was replaced with a permanent stone structure.
The Notre-Dame des Graces Chapel, built between 1510 and 1516, stands on the bridge leading to the gate, showcasing local religious architecture.
The monument stands at the entrance of the historical center, facing Notre-Dame de Nazareth church, providing direct access to the old quarters.
The gate towers preserve their original gun ports and two cannon-shaped gargoyles on the inner face of the ramparts.
