The ancient gates
Leading to the tower
How beautiful the old still stands
Gazing upon the new and modern feet and steps falling into place.
Inspiring quote followed by a profound haiku

Yes, I believe that tower in the photo is Michael’s Gate, the last and only still standing medieval gate.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments in step with the haiku’s intent. Well said!
Thank you.
