The most magnificent of three remaining city gates from the fortifications dating to 1400. A 40-meter-tall three-turreted tower with meter-thick walls, massive oak gates, and drawbridge. The outer facade is decorated with 15th-century figures of the Madonna and two prophets. Historic entry point for goods from Alsace.
Outdoor historic monument. Can walk through anytime. Interior not accessible
Best in the evening when the gate is illuminated. Combine with a visit to nearby University Botanical Garden.

Unfortunately no. Spalentor is a historic gate you can walk through and admire from outside, but there is no public access to the tower itself.
