City Gates (Lomonosov)

The city gates in Lomonosov, located on Dvortsovy Avenue, are a cultural heritage site of Russia of federal significance. The interior space of the two gate pylons was divided into two floors, where the first floor housed a soldier's guardroom, and the second floor had an auxiliary room with semicircular windows. The facades of the structure are completed with a frieze with triglyphs, a cornice, and an attic, and the arch is decorated with a rusticated archivolt and a keystone. In the central part there was an arch laid out in the arc of a barrel vault and decorated with a complex pediment, while the original reliefs-armature, similar to those created by architect Gornostaev for the Moscow Gates in Tsarskoye Selo, were lost during the Great Patriotic War.
