Two of the
eight fortification gates of the walled town
of
Lalinde remain. At the west, the
Bergerac ("Bragéra") gate, from the end of
the 14th century, wrongly called the Roman
gate, it has nothing that is either
Romanesque or Roman (primitive Gothic).
The 14th century lower part is in stone
topped by a part in brick from the 15th
century. This second part was ruined
following the Wars of Religion.
The placement of the portcullis and its
gudgeons can be seen, as well as the passage
above the gate. This passage was supposed to
communicate directly with the wall-walk
located on top of the wall.
