city ​​gate

Miska brahma
Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi
The main city gates closed the entrance to Kamenetz-Podolsky through the Turkish bridge from the side of the Old Fortress and are the most ancient defense structures of the city. They are a checkpoint with an 8-meter-high Gate Tower, a casemate and a defensive wall. In the era of the Russian-Turkish wars of the 18th century, gunpowder production was located in the casemate of the gate. In 1876, part of the wall adjacent to the gate was dismantled for free passage from the fortress to the Old Town. In 1984, the casemate-laboratory was restored, now the restaurant "Pid bramoyu" is located here.
There is a small observation deck above the laboratory, which offers a classic view of the famous fortress, the fortress bridge and the canyon of the Smotrych River.
