Iron Gate

Ever since it was opened it bears witness to Illyrian, Greek, Roman but also Avar, Slav, Turkish, Italian, French and others.

The gate is made out of two parts - the outer and inner gates which formed a defensive system - a human trap in between. During the Middle Ages, this was the only open gate. The fate of those seeking refuge within the palace's walls was decided between the two gates, as is served as a courtroom.
