Iberian Gate and Chapel

The gate and chapel are wedged between the Moscow City Hall (to the left) and the State Historical Museum (to the right), 19th-century postcard.

Resurrection Gate (Russian: Воскресенские ворота, romanizedVoskresenskiye vorota) or Iberian Gate (Russian: Иверские ворота, romanizedIverskiye vorota) is the only remaining gate of Kitay-gorod in Moscow, Russia. It connects the north-western end of Red Square with Manege Square and gives its name to nearby Voskresenskaya Square (Resurrection Square, renamed Revolution Square in 1918). The gate adjoins the ornate building of the Moscow City Hall to the east and the State Historical Museum to the west. Just in front of the chapel is a bronze plaque marking kilometre zero of the Russian highway system.

Destroyed in 1931 by the Soviet regime, the Gate and the Chapel were rebuilt in the 1990s.
