Constructed in 1537, Pile Gate stands as a robust entrance on the west wall of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Historically, this gate was secured each night, with the wooden drawbridge leading to it raised, to safeguard the city from intruders. Today, visitors can explore this well-preserved gateway, which also gained modern fame as a filming location for Game of Thrones, where it featured in a memorable scene involving King Joffrey.
