[The Saint Martin Gate]
The Saint Martin Gate
Built in the twelfth century at the same time as the outer walls and collapsed in 1844, the door opened on the old common of the Jurisdiction of St. Martin of Mazérat, attached to St. Emilion in 1790.
It derives its name from the way it controls the road which led to the Romanesque church of St. Martin of Mazéart.]
