The medieval town of Tarascon was surrounded by ramparts, with four secondary and three main gates, including the Condamine to the northeast. The construction of this door date of 1379, during the realization of the third enclosure of the city. The door, which was equipped with a drawbridge, is framed by two towers formerly crenellated, one of which is equipped with loopholes. Since then, they lost their alias and the gap that preceded them.
