The Halle Gate (French: Porte de Hal, pronounced [pɔʁt də al]; Dutch: Hallepoort; Brusselian: Allepout) is a former medieval city gate and the last vestige of the second walls of Brussels, Belgium. Built in the 14th century, it was heavily restored in the 19th century in its current neo-Gothic style by the architect Henri Beyaert. It is now a museum dedicated to the medieval City of Brussels, part of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH).
The Halle Gate is located on Boulevard du Midi/Zuidlaan, just south of the Marolles/Marollen neighbourhood, between the City of Brussels and Saint-Gilles municipalities. This site is served by Brussels-South railway station, as well as by the metro and premetro (underground tram) station Porte de Hal/Hallepoort on lines 2, 4, 6 and 10.
