TORUŃ BY NIGHT: City Wall Gate

This is one of the main gates in the Old City Walls of Toruń. In the medieval times, this gate was linked to a bridge ("most") that crossed the River Vistula. Hence, why the name of the street beyond the archway is called Ul.Mostowa. The small arch to the left is the same arch in yesterday's post. The attractive building in the distance is Dwór Mieszczański , which has already been featured on Toruń Daily Photo (see http://torundailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/03/dwr-mieszczaski.html and http://torundailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/04/dwr-mieszczaski-profile.html).

Incidentally, for a different version of the same gate, see our earlier post: http://torundailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/04/gate-or-face.html
