Fortifications, Historic, Interesting Places, Castles

La porte mordelaise est un châtelet d'entrée, vestige des remparts de Rennes. Son emplacement date du III^e siècle, à la création des premiers remparts, mais son architecture date principalement du XV^e siècle. Il s’agissait de l’entrée principale de la ville de Rennes.

Les portes mordelaises tiennent leur nom de la ville de Mordelles, fief important dès le XI^e siècle vers lequel donne cette entrée. Les futurs ducs devaient prêter serment devant cette entrée, elle est ainsi parfois nommée porte royale, porte ducale ou porte épiscopale. Elle servait d'entrée pour les cortèges et son pont-levis permettait une double protection contre les attaques.
