The Spalentor, one of three surviving medieval city gates in Basel.
From the city side:

Inside the Tor:

The doorway is about 3m tall; none of the shots that included a
person for
scale worked.
I remember seeing a painting of the Spalentor in a Basel hotel,
captioned "Das schoenste Tor in die Stadt." (The most
beautiful gate in the city.) It is quite striking as you come upon it
- a lovely medieval remainder. Thanks for the photo and
the reawakened memories.
