Rhine Gate

Rhine Gate

The Rhine Gate (in German Rheintor) is a former city gate in the ancient city walls of Basel, Switzerland. It had been pulled down in 1839, about twenty years before three other gateways and the city walls were pulled down. The position of the Rhine Gate was at the Rhine bridge on the western river bord.
