The Kyrenia Gate is one of the three enterances to the
city built by the Venetians. The gate was originally called
the "Porta Del Proveditore". Kyrenia gate has undergone
several changes since its Venetian days.
In 1821 the Turks restored it and added a square chamber
with a domed roof, and in 1931 the British demolished the
section of the walls around it to facilitate the traffic
into and out of the city. Still visible however is a pannel
recording the date of its building and a stone tablet incscribed
with verses from the Koran.
