Halle Gate
The Halle Gate (French: Porte de Hal, pronounced [pɔʁt də al]; Dutch: Hallepoort) is a former medieval city gate and the last vestige of the second walls of Brussels, Belgium. Built between 1381 and 1383, it was heavily restored in the 19th century in its current neo-Gothic style by the architect Henri Beyaert. It is now a museum dedicated to the medieval City of Brussels, part of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH).
