Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

The Lombard Gate is one of several historic gates marking the entrance to the Presidio and was the main gate to town for much of the post's history. Thanks to concerted efforts by the Presidio Trust, these sandstone gates are restored and preserved as close to their original condition as possible. Two cannons, war trophies acquired from Cuba during the Spanish American War, stand guard at the gates.
