Pile Gate

After passing through the inner gate, get greeted by the statue of St. Blaise by Ivan Meštrović. Below, you can see what's left of the old moat, which is now a green area. Admire views of Stradun, the bustling main street of the city, from the entryway. Stop at the nearby fort, Fort Lovrijenac, which stands tall above the water. Stroll along the walls while taking in the breathtaking view of the azure Adriatic.
