The Golden Gate in Kiev is one of the few buildings of Kievan Rus that have survived to this day. The Golden Gate is a unique structure in the defensive system of the city. In the XI century, together with the Sofia, Lyadsky and Lvov gates, a rampart and a moat, they constituted a single defensive system of Kiev, created at the behest of Yaroslav the Wise. The Golden Gate was built roughly in 1017-1037
