Iberian Gate (Iverskie vorota)

Iberian Gate (Iverskie vorota or Иверские ворота in Russian) between  the ornate building of the Moscow City Hall to the east and the State Historical Museum to the west  is the only existing gate of the Kitai-gorod in Moscow. It connects the north end of Red Square with Manege Square.

In front of the gate (side opposite to Red Square) is small Iberian Chapel.

  Just in front of the chapel is a bronze plaque marking kilometer zero of the Russian highway system.

  In 1931, the Iberian Gate and the chapel were demolished in order to make room for heavy military vehicles driving through Red Square during military parades. Both structures were completely rebuilt in 1994-1996.
