Dnieper Gate, Gate tower in Smolensk, Russia.
The Dnieper Gate stands as a stone gate church constructed in 1811, featuring classical architectural elements within the Smolensk Kremlin complex.
During the invasion of 1812, Napoleon's forces entered Smolensk through this gate while directing artillery fire at retreating Russian troops.
The gate transformed from a military fortification into an Orthodox gymnasium, reflecting the evolution of Russian architectural purposes through centuries.
The structure remains accessible for visitors exploring the Smolensk Kremlin, with its position at coordinates 54.790733, 32.051611 marking the entrance point.
A five-tiered defensive tower formerly contained an alarm bell system that alerted residents during sieges of the medieval period.
