The Namur Gate (French: Porte de Namur, pronounced[pɔʁtdənamyʁ]; Dutch: Naamsepoort) was one of the medieval city gates of the second walls of Brussels, Belgium. Built in the 14th century, it was demolished in 1784 during the construction of the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road).
In the 21st century, the Porte de Namur (French) or Naamsepoort (Dutch) more commonly denotes the Ixelles neighbourhood where the gate formerly stood. This area is served by Porte de Namur/Naamsepoort metro station on lines 2 and 6 of the Brussels Metro.
