Architectural Attractions Golden Gate

Nice place Visit the museum and you can also go on the top of it. Beautiful view from the top. Located just outside of the metro station

The composer Modest Mussorgsky wrote a beautiful piece of music inspired by a picture of the gate, which was later arranged for a full orchestra by Ravel. The gate itself is a reconstruction, as the original gate is long destroyed. A statue of Yaroslav the Wise is beside the gate and the reconstructed gate gives some idea of what the outer walls and fortress of the city would have looked like in the Middle Ages before the Mongol Invasion. The Gate itself was not open to the public on weekdays during the winter, but even the exterior is very interesting to look at.

12世紀城壁と共に城門を建設し、モンゴル帝国の侵略で破壊され、1982年に再建されたものです。新しいのはそのためです。当時、上部と門を金色に塗ったのでこの名前がついたそうです。城門にも見えず金色もなくで、この周りを探したほどです。

This was my first trip to Kiev and I was eagerly looking forward to enjoying the great pubs,bars and restaurants this city has to offer and check out the stunning sites to behold in this most eclectic of city's and without a shadow of a doubt Golden Gate is one of the most beautiful and famous buildings in Kiev.The Golden Gate we see today is by no means the original gate ,many modern historians are in agreement that this gateway was one of three constructed during the times of Yaroslav The Wise and constructed between 1017 - 1024 ,roughly the same period St Sophia Cathedral was constructed, over time the various gates that were the entrance to the city fell into disrepair and eventually ruin,in 1832 the ruins were excavated and bizarrely were reconstructed by the Soviets in 1982 but not without controversy as there were many historical groups competing with designs on what the gate actually looked like,no matter as it's an absolutely stunning piece of architecture, I actually got my first glimpse of this gate at night and it looked magnificent, the history of this gate area is amazing considering theres been a gateway of one form ir another since the 11th century ,made for some great photographic opportunities and its location in the vicinity of Independence Square and the impressive Khreshchatyk Boulevard is cool.The Golden Gate is most definitely well worth checking out if your planning a trip to Kiev and is easy to locate Vladimirskaya Street.A must go destination on any trip to Kiev.

昔は、門の上に建てられた教会の金箔ドームがあったから、黄金の・・・らしい。今のたたずまいだとよく分からない、内部には、最初の門の廃墟が保存されているとの事だが、今の外見とは違うだろうなと感じた。
