The Michel Gate belonged to the city's fortifications. Built in the 14th century in a Gothic style, its current Baroque appearance dates from 1758. The statue of Saint Michael slaying the dragon was added to its summit. On both sides of the bridge are the statues of the Archangel St. Michael and St. John Nicomedes. In the tower once lived a watchman. It now houses the Museum of Weapons and Fortifications. Under the tower is now the 0 meridian.
