The bridge dates to 1471 and was designed by Paskoje Milicevic. It leads into an adjoining passage that connects you to the western end of Stradun. Just above the arch that leads into this passageway is the statue of city patron St. Blaise. Leave a Comment

Most tourists never leave the old city and Dubrovnik's beaches. We found some very nice sights off the tourist map, though, by walking out the Pile gate and heading west down Brsalje street. In the small streets leading down from Brsalje to the water, there are more small churches and historic houses, a fishing pier, and the path to the Lovrjenac fort. This section of town is also home to a big post office and a very helpful tourist office. Leave a Comment

 Pile Gate by grkboiler
There is an entrance to the city walls here, which can be walked for a small fee and gives great views of the city. The walls are 1,940 m (6,363 ft) around, reach a height of 25 m (82 ft), and are up to 6 m (20 ft) thick. Hours are 9am-7pm in the summer and 10am-3pm in the winter. Leave a Comment

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

 The Pile gate and the
drawbridge by WanderingFinn
Built on the site of the former Pile fortress in the part of the city known as Pile, this westernmost gate to the Old Town is its busiest port of entry, largely because buses from the city and ferry terminals deposit their passengers here.
A stone bridge leads to the outer gate. The outer Pile Gate was guarded from 1537 on, so the city could monitor trade in and out of the city. The wooden drawbridge leading to it was pulled up at night in an elaborate ceremony. Now, during summer, honorary guards in period costume stand guard mornings as tourists shuffle in for a day of sightseeing. However, the moat has long since been drained and is now just a green space. The interior gate was built in the 15th century and it, too, has its statue of St. Blaise--this one done by the prolific 20th-century Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.
