Description
The monument is a portal building with a pointed arch and two stair-towers created in the characteristic architectural traditions of the late medieval Central Asian fortification. The designated object is located in the eastern wall of ancient Turkestan. The wall itself and the gate are crowned with loopholes and battlements. The gates are made of baked bricks of the "European" type on lime mortar and reconstructed in 1980. The gate as a historical and cultural object is protected by the state.
