Gates of Merano

The town gates of Merano in South Tyrol date back to the medieval period and are one of the attractions of the town today.

Access to town was possible through four gates that were positioned in the cardinal directions.

All four gates existed until 1881, when the Ulten Tor (Ulten Gate) was demolished to make way for a broadening of today's Rennweg road.

Apart from that, the other three gates have survived and underwent a number of restorations and repair.
