Water Gate & Northern Battlements


Trvđa's water gate was built into the northern wall in 1715. Just beside it, steps lead up onto the grassy top of the ramparts from where you can walk west to the brick water tower (wear closed shoes, there's broken glass and a fair amount of rubbish along the path up here) or east, following the ramparts until they taper downwards onto Jagića street.
