Upper Gate, Ohrid
Горна порта
One of the main surviving gates of the ancient city walls, a stone arch flanked by two towers, the traditional entrance from the new town into the Old Town's hill
The gate belongs to the outer walls of the Samuel's Fortress. Stone blocks bearing ancient Greek inscriptions are set into the gateway. Passing through the gate brings you to the ancient theatre, climbing further up leads to the fortress, and going down brings you to the Church of St. Mary Peribleptos, making it the hub for touring the Old Town. The alleys nearby have small cafés and guesthouses. Entry is free.
