The entrance tower or the main entrance is fortified part of the Štanjel settlement, which once was part of a defense wall. During the mayoral period, Max Fabiani restored the entrance. He expended the entrance with cement inserts. Although the interior of the tower was partially emptied and the door slightly extended, it is not known what the tower looked like before the renovation. But his medieval image is still magnificent. The Cobenzl family coat of arms is also on the tower.
