General information about Golden Gate Museum (Kyiv)

The Golden Gate is one of the few monuments of the fortification of Ancient Kyiv. They were the main, main gates of the city of Yaroslav the Wise.

The name comes from the golden bath of the Church of the Annunciation, which crowned the building.

In 1832 archeological excavations were carried out. The Golden Gate was reconstructed for the 1500th anniversary of Kyiv. Ancient foundations can be seen in the museum inside the building.

Nearby in the square - a monument to Yaroslav the Wise (1997), a cast-iron fountain (XIX century). From here begins Yaroslaviv Val Street, laid along one of the defensive ramparts of Ancient Kyiv.

"Золоті ворота" - одна з небагатьох пам'яток фортифікації Стародавнього Києва. Були головними, парадними воротами міста Ярослава.

Назва походить від золотої бані Благовіщенської церкви, яка вінчала споруду.

В 1832 році проведено археологічні розкопки. "Золоті ворота" реконструйовано до 1500-річчя Києва. Стародавні фундаменти можна оглянути у музеї всередині споруди.

Поруч у сквері - пам'ятник Ярославу Мудрому (1997 рік), чавунний фонтан (XIX століття). Звідси починається вулиця Ярославів Вал, прокладена вздовж одного із оборонних валів Стародавнього Києва.
