Monk Bar

Standing at the end of Goodramgate, Monk Bar is a four-storey medieval gatehouse and fortress dating from the 14th century, which was later heightened in 1484 under King Richard III. Guarding the entrance to the city walls, the structure features a working oak portcullis, stone murder holes, turret cells, and carved stone-thrower figures atop its turrets. In addition to housing a small shop, it serves as a key access point for strolling along the elevated medieval walls towards York Minster.
