Kiev Golden Gate by drone 4k
The Great Golden Gate of Kyiv, also known as The Golden Gate or «Zoloti Vorota» in Ukrainian, is one of the finest samples of fortification architecture in Eastern Europe. It is also one of very few historical monuments remaining from the Kyivan Rus period.
The Great Golden Gate of Kyiv was built as a beautiful entryway that leads into the old city of Kyiv by prince (knyaz’) Yaroslav the Wise in 1037. It was constructed at about the same time as St. Sophia Cathedral and the upper city fortifications, and functioned as the main triumphal entrance and as a defendable portal to the fortified section of the city.

Golden Gate, Kiev
The Golden Gates of Kyiv was the main gate in the 11th century fortifications of Kyiv, the capital of Kievan Rus'. It was named in imitation of the Golden Gate of Constantinople. The structure was dismantled in the Middle Ages, leaving few vestiges of its existence. It was completely rebuilt by the Soviet authorities in 1982, though no images of the original gates have survived. The decision has been immensely controversial, for there were many competing reconstructions of what the original gate might have looked like. The rebuilt structure on the corner of Volodymyr street and Yaroslaviv Val Street contains a branch of the National Sanctuary Sophia of Kyiv museum. The name Zoloti Vorota is also used for a nearby theater and theZoloti Vorota station of the Kiev Metro.
History
Bolesław I of Poland and Sviatopolk the Accursed at Kiev, in a legendary moment of hitting the Golden Gate with the Szczerbiec sword. Painting by Jan Matejko. Modern history accepts this gateway as one of three constructed by Yaroslav the Wise. The golden gates were built in 1017-1024 (6545 by the Byzantine calendar) at about the same time the Saint Sophia Cathedral was erected. Mentions of an older construction, such as the one presented on a painting by Jan Matejko of king Bolesław I of Poland striking the Golden Gate with his sword during the intervention in the Kievan succession crisis in 1018, it is now regarded a legend. Originally named simply the Southern Gate, it was one of the three main entrances to the walled city, along with the Ladski and Zhydivski (Polish and Jewish) Gates.[2] The latter two have not survived. The stone fortifications stretched for only 3.5 km. The fortification of the [[Old Kyiv Upper City]] stretched from the Southern Gates down to what is now Independence Square and where the Lechitic Gate[3] was located. From there the moat followed what is now Kostyol Street, skirting St. Michael's Monastery and continuing along today's Zhytomyr Street toward the Jewish Gates (at Lviv Square). From there the fortification stretched what is now Yaroslaviv Val (Yaroslav's Rampart) Street back to the Southern Gate.
In the 1970s, prior to reconstruction, the Golden Gate still retained its traditional shape, a shape that had been remembered for centuries.
Later the Southern Gate became known as the Great Gate of Kiev. After the Blahovist Church (Church of the Annunciation) was built next to the gates, its golden domes became a prominent landmark easily visible from outside the city. Since then, the gateway has been referred to as the Golden Gate of Kiev. The gate's passageway was about 40 feet high and 20 feet wide. For almost half a millennium, it served as the city's Triumphal Arch, a prominent symbol of Kiev. It was reputedly modeled on the Golden Gate of Constantinople. Later a similar name was given to the gates of Vladimir city where one of the Monomakh's descendants, Andrei I Bogolyubsky, established his own state, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir. In 1240 it was partially destroyed by Batu Khan's Golden Horde.[4] It remained as a gate to the city (often used for ceremonies) through the eighteenth century, although it gradually fell into ruins.
In 1832 Metropolitan Eugenius had the ruins excavated and an initial survey for their conservation was undertaken. Further works in the 1970s added an adjacent pavilion, housing a museum of the gate. In the museum visitors can learn about the history of construction of the Golden gate as well as ancient Kiev.
In 1982, the gate was completely reconstructed for the 1500th anniversary of Kiev, though this was challenged. Some art historians called for this reconstruction to be demolished and for the ruins of the original gate to be exposed to public view.
In 1989 with the expansion of the Kiev Metro, Zoloti Vorota station was opened nearby to the landmark. Its architectural assemble is based on the internal decorations of ancient Ruthenian churches.
In 1997, the monument to Yaroslav the Wise was unveiled near the west end face of the Golden Gate. It is an enlarged bronze copy of an experimental figuring by Kavaleridze.

Beautiful Independence Square, Golden Gate and Other Sights in Kiev, Ukraine
Steve and I were going to visit Babi Yar on a private, guided tour with Valentina from Kievcitytours, accessing that important site by using the Metro; one Metro entrance happened to be in Independence Square.
We walked a few short blocks from The InterContinental Hotel to important Independence Square where very knowledgeable Valentina told about its history. Other Kiev sights in this video were seen on the way back from Babi Yar when we exited at another Metro stop.
A more intensive tour of Kiev would be included the next day as part of the Viking River Cruise. Keep watching...
