Subačius Gate, Medieval city gate ruins in Old Town, Lithuania.

The Subačius Gate features remaining stone foundations from its original structure, positioned at a strategic entry point to the southeastern part of Vilnius.

Constructed in 1528, this defensive gate underwent substantial modifications during the 17th century before its eventual demolition by Russian authorities in 1801.

The gate served as a principal entry point connecting Vilnius with major Eastern European cities including Vitebsk, Polock, Smolensk, and Moscow.

The remnants of the gate stand near the intersection of Subačius and Markučių streets, offering visitors insights into medieval Lithuanian fortification methods.

Some original bricks from the demolished gate were reused in the construction of military barracks and a merchant palace in early 19th century Vilnius.
