The Dark Gate (or alternatively Dark Portal, Hungarian: Sötétkapu) is a tunnel located under the artificial slopes of Castle hill, near the St. Adalbert's Basilica in Esztergom, Hungary.
The tunnel is 90 metres long, and it follows the line of the castle's former eastern walls. The entire tunnel is vaulted, and was built in Neo-classical style.

—Marion Harland (1830–1922)
“Pale Death beats equally at the poor man’s gate and at the palaces of kings.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
