The Gate of Westminster sits in front of the Banqueting Hall and is remarkable for its gothic architecture. It is sometimes confused with the Holbein Gate as they are in a close proximity. Cesar de Saussure says in his letter that is was “ in this wide street that a scaffold was erected, adjoining the banqueting house, and the fortunate King Charles I., stepping through one of the windows, was led to the block, where he lost his head” (66). He is most likely looking at the Holbein Gate when he refers to the Gate of Westminster.
