Golden Gate

This fortified wall, defining the limits of the city and serving as a protective barriere from invaders in the past centuries, dates back from to 1037 , the reign of Prince Yaroslav the Wise. The place was restored to its present condition in 1983 , and it now serves as the Golden Gate historical museum. The structure is located in downtown Kyiv, two blocks from The National Opera House, just outside of the Zoloti Vorota metro station.
