Pile Gate

Pile Gate is the main and most famous entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Dating back to the 15th century, this historic gate served as the primary access point for travelers, merchants, and defenders entering the fortified city. Crossing the stone bridge and passing through Pile Gate offers a memorable first impression of Dubrovnik. The view of massive stone walls and the lively Stradun street beyond makes this spot an essential starting point for exploring the Old Town.
