Built between 1762 and 1763 according to the plans of Mr. Paulmier de la Tour, the Saint Martin gate is the last testimony of the old gates at the time when Montélimar was still surrounded by ramparts.
Batie en pierres de taille de Cruas et de Puygiron, on peut voir dans sa partie supérieure une décoration composée de feuilles de chênes et feuilles de palmiers avec au centre un cartouche autrefois chargé des armes du dauphin. Les deux guichets (portes de part et d'autre) furent ajoutés à la construction d'origine dans les années 1849-50.
Built of ashlars from Cruas and Puygiron, its upper part is decorated with oak and palm leaves, with a cartouche in the center that was once charged with the arms of the dauphin. The two windows (doors on either side) were added to the original construction in the years 1849-50.
