Description

A panoramic view 23 metres above the river. This former fortified gate (1493-1496) is dedicated to French King Charles VIII, victor at the battle of Fornova (Italy). This is obviously a military structure, equipped with a portcullis and topped by sturdy machicolations, but the approaching Renaissance had already introduced new architectural features: mullioned windows and decorative sculpture.
