Gate No 2 of the Gdańsk Shipyard, Historic entrance of the Gdańsk Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.
The iron gate stands tall as the primary entrance to the Gdańsk Shipyard complex, linking the management buildings with the railway station.
During the Polish protests of December 1970, workers exiting through Gate No 2 faced gunfire, resulting in two fatalities and eleven wounded individuals.
The gate received recognition as a European Heritage site in 2014, marking its role in the formation of the Solidarity movement and Polish democracy.
The entrance gate opens for guided tours that start from the European Solidarity Centre, located 150 meters from the Gdańsk Główny station.
In August 1980, Lech Wałęsa stood at this gate to declare the end of strikes and announce the signing of the milestone Gdańsk Agreement.
