The Porte Sainte-Quitterie in Sarrancolin

The Porte Sainte-Quitterie (or Porte de la Prison) is a fortified structure situated in the commune of Sarrancolin, Hautes-Pyrénées. Listed as a monument historique on 29th December 1941, it is the only gate still standing from the old fortification that surrounded Sarrancolin until the XVIIIe siècle.

Datée du 2e quart du XVIe siècle, this tour was part of a system of gates at the city's cardinal points. These included the porte Saint-Antoine to the north, the porte de la Neste to the east, the porte du vivier to the west, and finally the porte Sainte-Quitterie to the south, which ensured communication with the outside world.
