Golden Gate
The Golden Gate, designed by Abraham van den Blocke, has been a representative entrance to Gdańsk since 1612. Its monumental form with allegorical sculptures reflects civic aspirations and virtues. Destroyed in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1957, retaining the original elements of Dutch Mannerism. Currently, the gate is managed by the Association of Polish Architects, constituting a key element of the Royal Road and the cultural center of the city.
