Metz | France | Porte des Allemands. La Porta dei Tedeschi, aperta sulle mura medievali, costituisce la più importante vestigia della vecchia cinta muraria cittadina, e uno straordinario esempio di fortificazione medievale. Deve il suo nome ai Cavalieri teutonici o anche detti "frères hospitaliers de Notre-Dame-des-Allemands", che vi avevano fondato un ospedale in prossimità, poi distrutto da Carlo V durante l'assedio del 1552. Si compone di una doppia porta fortificata e da un ponte che scavalca il fiume Seille. Venne costruita a partire dal 1230 iniziando dalla porta verso la città, arcone ogivale serrato fra due torri semicircolari. Nel 1445 fu deciso di rafforzare la difesa del ponte con l'aggiunta di un'altra porta, verso la campagna, chiusa fra due possenti torrioni. Porte des Allemands, open along the medieval walls, is the most important vestiges of the old the city walls, and an extraordinary example of medieval fortification. It owes its name to the Knights of the Teutonic or also called "frères hospitaliers de Notre-Dame-des-Allemands", who had founded there a hospital in the vicinity, which was destroyed by Charles V during the siege of 1552. It consists of a double door and fortified by a bridge over the river Seille. It was built starting in 1230 starting with the gateway to the city, arch arched bolted between two semi-circular towers. In 1445 it was decided to strengthen the defense of the bridge with the addition of another door, into the countryside, closed between two strong towers.

I passed by the town but by day, just a few hours for a walk; I see that the place deserves a night rest; compliments ;-) sono passato dalla cittadina ma di giorno, appena poche ore per una passeggiata; vedo che il luogo meritasse una sosta notturna; complimenti

Well ... Metz hit me unexpectedly, all. In the sense, it had to be a simple stop of the established European trip and instead I found myself wandering all the afternoon, evening and late evening for the streets and various areas of the city! Really beautiful ... and in the evening, as you said, deserves a lot :-P Thank you for your compliments ;-) beh si... Metz mi ha colpito inaspettatamente, tutta. Nel senso, doveva essere una semplice tappa del viaggio europeo stabilito e invece mi sono ritrovato a vagare per tutto il pomeriggio, sera e tarda sera per le vie e varie zone della città! Veramente bellissima... e di sera, appunto come accennavi, merita moltissimo Grazie per i complimenti
