The Japanese garden is located on the North Side of the Alba Carolina Fortress.

The gates of the Alba Carolina bastion fortress are not only ways to access the great fortress but also monuments and tourist attractions themselves. The eastern gates can be considered true artistic creations. The western ones are not as decorated as the eastern ones but they are also beautiful. It is worth walking through all the gates.

When I decided to go and visit the Alba Carolina Fortress I thought that the gates surround the fortress but it is not so. Read the article and find out the location of the gates and the order in which you can visit them.

The 7th Gate is located in the north part of the fortress. It was closed for 300 years and during the restoration works the gate was reopened and can be used.

The 6th Gate is the gate through which King Ferdinand and Queen Maria entered the Citadel when they were crowned, in 1922.

The 5th Gate is a simple gate. In the past, the gate was used by the soldiers to exit the training field.
