Address:
St. Laurence Street, Drogheda, Ireland

Saint Laurence's Gate is a barbican which was built in the 13th century as part of the walled fortifications of the medieval town of Drogheda in Ireland.

It has been described as one of the finest of its kind, and is designated as a national monument.

In the 14th century, the street and gate were renamed because they led to the hospital of Saint Laurence, which stood close to the Cord church.
