The Golden Gate was built in the 11th century and was originally the main gate of the ancient city of Kyiv. It is named after the door leaf and the dome of the church on the gatehouse decorated with gilded copper foil. Later, during the Western Expedition from Batu, the Golden Gate was damaged, and then fell into disrepair. In 1983, the government rebuilt the Golden Gate and a section of the ancient city wall on the original site, and set up a museum and a park. The museum displays many cultural relics of ancient Kyiv.
