Ancient gates

The French city of Cognac is the heart of cognac production. But, in addition, the city can safely be called an example of medieval architecture, because only here you can find buildings, towers and structures dating back to the XV century.

One of these ancient attractions is the main city gate, which was built in 1499. The most interesting thing is that, despite such an honorable age, the appearance of the gate is very well preserved. They managed to survive the devastating Second World War with almost no damage.

The stone gates are two, connected by the passage arch of the tower. Each of the towers has a window that is closed with a grid.

While making a tourist excursion to Cognac, this attraction is impossible to miss, because, as before, the gate is the main entrance to the city.
