Roman City Augustodunum-Porte Saint-André

The Porte Saint-André in Autun, a French city in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Burgundy region, is a city gate of the Roman city of Augustodunum. The roads from Langres and Besançon reached Autun here.

The six-kilometer-long Roman city wall had four city gates; the Porte Saint-André and the Porte d'Arroux are still extant. The Porte Saint-André is the best-preserved ancient monument in Autun.

The two-story gate from the 3rd century is crowned with an arcaded gallery. The two large archways were reserved for vehicular traffic, and the two smaller arches for pedestrians. A Roman garrison building is still preserved next to the gate, which was converted into a church in the Middle Ages.
