Norre Port, City gate in Halmstad, Sweden.
The northern entrance features thick stone walls with a central passageway connecting the old town to the modern district of Halmstad.
Danish King Christian IV commissioned this fortification structure in 1601 as part of the defensive system protecting the strategic port city.
The gate structure contains exhibition spaces where local artists display their works throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors can access the monument every day and walk through the central passage that now serves as a pedestrian connection.
The structure received Sweden's first traffic light system in 1929, marking the beginning of modern traffic management in the city.
