I visit Kiev short time ago together with my wife. We travel a lot …sometimes for business…sometimes privat. We have visit many countrys in our life.

The Golden Gate of Kiev (is a historic, fortified city gate in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The gate was built on the orders of the Kiev Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise from 1017 to 1024. The Golden Gate of Constantinople served as a model. In 1240 it was damaged by Batu Khan’s Mongolian troops. The gate remained the main entrance to the city until the 18th century and is often used for ceremonial purposes. The remains of the gate were reconstructed in 1832. Further reconstruction work was carried out in the 1970s, with the new, reconstructed gate being built on the remains of the gate. The new gate, which houses a museum, was opened in 1982 to mark the 1500th anniversary of Kiev.
