City gate A city gate is a gate which is , or was , set within a city wall . Other terms include port . Uses . City gates were traditionally built to provide a point of controlled access to and departure from a walled city for people , vehicles , goods and animals . Depending on their historical context they filled functions relating to defense , security , health , trade , taxation , and representation , and were correspondingly staffed by military or municipal authorities . The city gate was also commonly used to display diverse kinds of public information such as announcements , tax and toll schedules , standards of local measures , and legal texts . It could be heavily fortified , ornamented with heraldic shields , sculpture or inscriptions , or used as a location for warning or intimidation , for example by displaying the heads of beheaded criminals or public enemies . City gates , in one form or another , can be found across the world in cities dating back to ancient times to around the 19th century . Many cities would close their gates after a certain curfew each night , for example Prague . With increased stability and freedom , many walled cities removed such fortifications as city gates , although many still survive ; albeit for historic interest rather than security . Many surviving gates have been heavily restored , rebuilt or new ones created to add to the appearance of a city , such as Bab Bou Jalous in Fes . With increased levels of traffic , city gates have come under threat in the past for impeding the flow of traffic , such as Temple Bar in London which was demolished in the 18th century .
