Porte Saint-Pierre

Dijon stands in the heart of the Côte-d'Or region in France. In 1575 and 1595, two French kings, Henry III and Henry IV, entered the city through Porte Saint-Pierre. In 1670, king Louis XIV granted Dijon the title of ‘Capital of the Burgundy’. This was officially reaffirmed in 1864 by Napoleon III. The city of Dijon saw its golden age during the 18th century, as the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy. Today, Porte Saint-Pierre, rebuilt in 1760, is listed as a historic monument, a testament to its importance in the city's history. Visitors can appreciate the edifice's intricate carvings and the elegant arch that spans the street.
