The Southern gate, originally "Porta meridionalis" but by Venetians renamed to today's Brass gate. If you are in the historical part of Split be sure to check out this attraction.
The Brass gate is adjacent to the popular waterfront promenade, the Riva. It is completely different from the rest of the gates. It is much smaller, simpler and with no decorations.
It also served as an "escape gate" because there was no promenade and the gate exited immediately to the sea - a perfect escape in case of any danger. Today this is the most used gate. Many tourists start their walking tours from here - from the Riva, plus, it leads to the souvenir shops in the basement halls.
