Moscow Gate in Kherson, Heritage gate in Kherson, Ukraine.
The Moscow Gate features limestone construction with classical architectural elements, standing as an entry point to the historical fortress complex.
Constructed in 1783 under the direction of engineer Rodion Kazakov, the gate marked the northern entrance to Kherson Fortress during the Russian Empire period.
During Catherine II's visit in May 1787, she entered Kherson through this gate, establishing its role in ceremonial functions of the city.
Located on the grounds of Kherson State University, the gate provides access to the northeastern section of the Kherson Fortress park.
The gate originally included a drawbridge that connected the main fortress to an outer military settlement, demonstrating advanced engineering of the period.
