Introduction
The Golden Gate is a medieval city gate, built in the mid-12th century, modeled after the Golden Gate of Kyiv. Today, it remains a symbolic building of Vladimir and a highlight of a bustling street.
Once, the town of Vladimir was surrounded by city walls with 5 outer gates and 2 inner gates. Now, the only remaining gate is the Golden Gate. Some remnants of defensive structures can still be seen near the Golden Gate.
The church above the Golden Gate has now been turned into an exhibition hall showcasing the history of war. It displays a model depicting the attack on Vladimir by the Mongol army on February 7, 1238. Visitors can experience the event with music and light effects in the exhibition hall.
