Gate of Plo膷e, Dubrovnik
The Gate of Plo膷e, positioned on the eastern side of Dubrovnik's land walls, is one of the city's significant entrances. This Romanesque-style gate consists of an inner and outer section and is safeguarded by the freestanding Revelin Fortress. The two are connected by a wooden drawbridge and a twin-spanned stone bridge that stretches across a protective ditch.
The construction of the Outer Gate of Plo膷e was overseen by architect Mihajlo Hranjac in 1628. The two bridges leading to the Revelin Fortress were built in the 15th century by Paskoje Mili膷evi膰, who also designed the bridges at the Pile Gate. The similarities in design between these bridges are a testament to Mili膷evi膰's skill and craftsmanship.
Just as it is at the Gate of Pile, a statue of Saint Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik, presides over the Gate of Plo膷e. This adds a touch of historical and cultural significance to the entrance.
