点评:St. Johanns Tor is one of the old gates to the Basel City Walls. While every gate had a tower for protection of the entrance, today this is simply one of the remaining historic city gates with Saint Alban and Spalen. This tower marks the northern entrance to the city where the wall met the Rhine River. While you could both pass through the gate and climb up on the wall, you could not enter the tower. We visited this gate before getting on our river cruise that was docking at the St. Johannes Park.
I love the old walled city, and it is great they kept this tower so you can still see it. However, while interesting, if you can only see one of the tower gates, I would see the Spalen next to the University of Basel on the west end of the old city. It is more traditional in both appearance and function. Still, this is a great part of the city's history to see if you have the time.

我喜欢这座古老的城墙城市,很高兴他们保留了这座塔楼,让你至今仍能看到它。然而,虽然很有趣,但如果你只能看到一座塔楼,我建议你去看看老城西端巴塞尔大学旁边的斯帕伦门。它的外观和功能都更为传统。不过,如果你有时间,这仍然是了解这座城市历史的重要部分。
