the renaissance city gate in Gdańsk , nowadays the main motorway ( Okopowa and Jagiellonian streets). Until 1895 it was in the 16th century fortifications, between Bastion St. Elżbieta and Bastion Karowy and was the main entrance gate to the city, opening the so-called Royal Road The vigorous form of the gate was to the city gates of Antwerp ( Sint-Jorispoort - St. George's Gate from 1543-45, Kipdorppoort from 1550), based on Italian designs. In the ground four replicas of the Tuscan pilasters are flanked by three semi-circular closed passages - the middle, the tallest, were designed for pedestrian traffic, two side for pedestrian traffic. This story is faced with sandstone rustic , whose strings are decorated with deep-engraved vegetable ornament. The upper story, which had to cover the raised medal of the flight, was decorated with a heraldic frieze with three strongly raised emblems : in the middle of the Commonwealth , on the right of Gdansk , on the left of Royal Prussia . The frieze is divided by flat, non-classical pilasters, which continue the vertical divisions of the lower storey and are found at the attic in the sculptures of four lions. The whole is covered with a flat hipped roof.
