The Halle Gate (French: Porte de Hal, pronounced [pɔʁt də al]; Dutch: Hallepoort) is a former medieval city gate and the last vestige of the second walls of Brussels, Belgium.^[1] Built between 1381 and 1383, 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).^[2]

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, 3, 4 and 6.
