This gate leads from the castle area into the Old Town and was traditionally referred to as the 'Jewish' gate, since until WWII it also separated the main Jewish quarter from the Old Town. There are excellent displays inside about Jewish life in Lublin presented by Theatr NN. Access is by a tour; guides usually can provide info in English.
