Spalentor, St. Alban-Tor and St. Johanns-Tor
About this place
Spalentor: With its square main tower, with round flanking towers on the corners facing out of the city, the Spalentor can be seen from far away. The outer façade is also decorated with three 15th-century console figures, a Madonna and two prophets. St. Alban-Tor: In the gateway, alongside the large wooden door, you can still see the heavy posts that were lowered one by one in times of danger to block the city entrance. St. Johanns-Tor: The St. Johanns-Tor was built after 1356. It was once part of the third medieval defensive ring, drawn around the whole city shortly after the great earthquake of 1356.
