Pile Gate is a historic entrance to the old city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Built in the 15th century, this grand gate served as the main entrance to the fortified city. It features a stone bridge and a drawbridge, which were once lifted every evening as a security measure. Above the gate, there is a statue of St. Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik.
