Porte Malbec, Medieval gate in Rocamadour, France
Porte Malbec features a distinctive tower above its entrance and an ogival arch constructed with finely crafted stone voussoirs.
Built during the 13th century, Porte Malbec stands as the only city gate in Rocamadour that retains its original tower structure.
The French government designated Porte Malbec as a historical monument in 1910, recognizing its significance in the architectural heritage of Rocamadour.
Visitors can access Porte Malbec via Rue Roland Le Preux, which serves as the main thoroughfare through the historic center of Rocamadour.
The gate incorporates a spiral staircase tower added in modern times, which harmoniously blends with the original medieval construction.
