About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Golden Gate in Kyiv is about discovery: how the city's lost eleventh-century entrance came back out of the ground in eighteen thirty-two, and the eccentric amateur archaeologist, a mystic and coin collector, who went digging for it. It also turns to the clues hidden in the old masonry itself. Best heard standing at the base of the tower, close to the old brickwork.
