A picturesque town gate and tower that has become one of the city's best-known sights. There were once 10 gates leading into the Old Town - this is the only one remaining, and today plays home to a chapel which is open to the public. Said to have miracle-working powers, people come from far and wide to pray to the painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary inside the chapel.
