Leiden had several city gates in the Middle Ages, but only the Morspoort and Zijlpoort survived the centuries. The Morspoort is located on the western edge of the city. In the past this was not the most pleasant place to enter the city since the bodies of hanged criminals were on display here. Fortunately we no longer do this and the Morspoort is now a beautiful national monument with its striking cupola and wonderful entrance.
