Alexander Gates, Neoclassical landmark gate in Okhta district, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Alexander Gates features symmetrical columns and ornate details crafted from stone, marking a grand entrance point on the eastern side of Saint Petersburg.
The gates, completed in 1806 under architect Fyodor Demertsov's guidance, served as part of Saint Petersburg's defensive fortification system during the early nineteenth century.
The gates demonstrate Russian Neoclassical architecture through their proportions, decorative elements, and structural design that follows principles from ancient Greek and Roman buildings.
Visitors can reach Alexander Gates by taking public transportation to the Okhta district and walking along the marked pedestrian paths near the intersection.
The gates maintain their original stone construction and architectural elements from 1806, standing as one of the few preserved entrance structures from imperial Saint Petersburg.
