Șchei Gate, Classical city gate in Brașov, Romania.
The stone and brick structure features three arches: a large central passage for vehicles and two smaller ones on each side for pedestrians.
The gate was constructed between 1827 and 1828 to manage increased traffic flow, replacing parts of the previous Catherine's Gate structure.
Latin inscriptions above the pedestrian arches record both the construction date and Emperor Francis I of Austria's visit to Brașov in 1817.
The gate connects Prundului Street and Sirul Ludwig van Beethoven Street with Porta Schei Street at a central roundabout in Brașov.
The interior of the gate features a domed ceiling that visitors can examine while passing through the pedestrian archways.
