In XIIIe century its name was the gate of Parrot or Perrot, because it gave access to the suburb of this name. The gate was bored of two bays.

Hola Joel,
perfecto encuadre vertical para ofrecernos la elegancia de esta arquitectura religiosa, bien destacada sobre el cielo azul.
La luz era muy fuerte y la has controlado bien, se nota el sol en las fachadas, pero se equilibra muy bien con las sombras.
Buen trabajo.
Un saludo,
Josep
PS: te escribo en español porque he visto en tu crítica a mi foto que lo dominas muy bien.

Salut Joel
Une belle réussite sur cette tour massive. Ce ciel limpide met bien en valeur la pierre et tu n'as pas été piégé par des ombres trop fortes.
C'est très bien vu!!

Salut Joël,
wonderful view at this architecture, the POV looking through the gate well done as it includes also the nice top and the clock. The name reminds me to Dutch/German and nautic. Well balanced light for the darker and brighter parts.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Joel, this is an impressive gate, looks like a huge cuckoo clock almost. The grays of the stone are cold and foreboding but the overall feeling is not, very interesting. Nice capture,

Greg
