Info
The Namur Gate (Dutch: Naamsepoort); (French: Porte de Namur) was one of the gates of the second walls of Brussels. It used to be called the New Gate of Coudenberg (Nieuwe Coudenbergse Poort), to distinguish it from the old gate located in the first walls, and it used to connect the Twee Poortenstraat/rue Entre deux Portes (current Naamsestraat/rue de Namur) to chemin d'Ixelles (current Elsense Steenweg/chaussée d'Ixelles). The twenty-first century 'Naamsepoort'/'Porte de Namur' denotes rather the Elsene/Ixelles district of that name, than the disappeared building.
