 | |  |  | Gates of Pile: Eat oranges which protrudes from both side of Gate | Tip Rating:      |  |  | |  |
When you will passing old gate mehanism on Pile Gate(and if guards are in good mood ;-) pick an wild orange(if you comming in winter time, they are there,still on the tree- when you need it most),from the trees which protrudes from both sides of the Gate, or if you comes in other season, pick some leaves and wild orange flower(great tea)! While refreshing with orange juice,check small statue with three heads on the portal under the gate-one man with the beard, and two womans!Its very misterious what that statue prezents, and there is a dark story comes from 1602 about one franciscan priest(Jere was his name,son of a tailor) which had love affair with two nuns from St Klara monastery, it finished tragicly, priest was found strangled,and statue was put there for the shame and tuition... What!You havent eaten your orange yet?Upss I didnt mentioned that its bitter, good for lemonade only ;-) Leave a Comment Address: Pile GateDirections: Pile Gate,Park Pile
