Косьмодемьянские ворота, Medieval gate ruins in Zaryadye district, Moscow, Russia
The Kosmodemyansky Gate features two symmetrical towers connected by a passage, incorporating elements of early Russian fortification architecture.
Built between 1535 and 1538 as part of the Kitai-gorod wall system, the gate served as a crucial entry point until its closure in the 1680s.
The gate derived its name from the nearby Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, which burned down in 1547.
The former gate location now stands near modern administrative buildings, accessible from Kitaygorodsky Passage in central Moscow.
The gate area was known as 'Wet Corner' due to its location at a sharp angle of the wall where water accumulated during rain.
