Address
Irkutsk, Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya Street
The monument is built in the Empire style, with a height of 15 meters. The Moscow Triumphal Gates were opened on September 15, 1813. The caretakers of the Moscow outpost and the station of the rescue society on the waters were located in the premises of the gate. The arch was renovated in 1890 and housed an archive. In 1911, it was decided to demolish the monument, but this caused discontent among the townspeople, so it was decided to restore the monument. However, due to lack of funds, it was postponed and eventually dismantled in 1928. On September 14, 2011, the reconstructed Moscow Gates were reopened in honor of the 350th anniversary of the city.
