The full story
Enter through the western gate complex and notice how the approach bends between bridge, gates and walls. A bridge and successive gates slow the approach before the broad Stradun opens ahead.
This is a distinct threshold into the Old Town and a practical starting point for a walk. The entrance is worth observing as a piece of defensive design, even if you are only passing through. Pause outside and inside to see how the walls control the western threshold.
