Fishmarket Gate

"The Fishmarket Gate, constructed in Gothic style between 1381 and 1387, is situated to the east of the Great Arsenal in Dubrovnik. This gate earned its name because it provided access to the city's fish market, a vital hub for trade and commerce during the time. When it was built, the Fishmarket Gate was the largest city gate, which is why it was also referred to as the Great Gate. Above the entrance, a statue of St. Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik, can be found in a large niche in the wall. This statue not only serves as a religious symbol but also reflects the significance of St. Blaise in the city's history and culture."
