The War of the Ring

The Great Gate of Minas Tirith, also known as the Gateway, serves as the magnificent primary entrance to the city, standing as a symbol of strength and resilience. Flanked by towering bastions of indomitable stone, the gate features large rolling doors crafted from steel and iron. Behind the impressive gates, a wide court lies at the foot of the great 'ship-keel' of stone that gracefully extends through the city's core, while the short avenue leading up to the Gate opens onto the intersection of the roads in the Pelennor Fields, connecting the city to the lands beyond.
