Ново-Никольские ворота, Medieval fortification gate in Moscow, Russia
The Novo-Nikolskie Gate features three arches: two on the interior side and one on the exterior side of the Kitai-gorod wall construction.
The gate was constructed between 1535 and 1538 by architect Petrok Maly Fryazin as part of the defensive fortifications of Moscow.
The gate received its name to distinguish it from the older Nikolskie Gate, which was also known as the Vladimirskie Gate.
The gate led to a bridge crossing over a water-filled moat, serving as a strategic entry point to the medieval city center.
During the restoration works of the 1920s, two additional passages were created on both sides of the main gate structure.
