Tips from the Community
Until the mid-19th century, the remains of a Gallo-Roman arch, which marked the northern city limit, were still visible. After being integrated into the fortifications at the end of the 3rd century and becoming a city gate, this structure owes its name either to its length or to a legendary king named Longo, whose effigy was mounted on a corbel overlooking the city. Around 1538, a barbican was built in front of the gate to prevent a frontal assault.

This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.
