Gate of Dawn
We walked the length of the main road going north to south, the bottom of which is bordered by the last surviving original gate now about 400 years old. The style is completely different again to Tallinn and Riga. I've read that 200 years ago the other gates were torn down at the order of the government. But when you walk through the gate to the other side you get no impression of the grandeur of the interior. In fact you don't even feel a city is on the other side, maybe a pub or some stables. Maybe that was intentional. Perhaps the marauding bandits would ride past still looking for their bounty.
