Gate of Charles VI, Belgrade

The Gate of Charles VI was named in memory of Charles VI, Austrian Emperor. It was built between 1718 and 1720. The construction was carried out under the orders of Prince Eugene of Savoy.

The facades of the gates were constructed in the German baroque architectural style by Balthasar Neumann. This was rare for the time as most designs incorporated Viennese architecture.

The outer facade of the gate holds a monogram of the emperor. There is also an inscription that read,s "Charlies VI, Roman Emperor, Augustus, supporter of the true faith against Christian enemies, erected this door, a magnificent work, after the conquest of the glorious city of Belgrade." The inner facade of the gate has a carved tablet with a boar's head pierced by an arrow and the coat of arms of Serbia.

The gate was rebuilt by the Germans in 1943, but it was mostly destroyed in World War II. It was rebuilt in 1964 to its former glory.
