Review & FAQ:
Bargate is one of the beautifully preserved gates in the ancient city walls surrounding Southampton. Originally built from limestone and flint as the main gateway to the medieval city, the 800-year-old gate is Grade I listed and one of the most beautiful relics of the old walls. Flanked by two powerful drum towers with four lancet windows above five Gothic arches, the magnificent gate is watched over by a statue of King George III in Roman garb dating back to 1809. The gate marks the entrance to the Old Town and is used for short-term exhibitions by Southampton Solent University.
