Borovitskie gates Kremlin
Borovitskie gates are located in a by-pass strelnitsa of Borovitskaya tower constructed in 1490 by Petro Antonio Soljario.

Above a gate, in a wall two dark cracks are visible – through them passed circuits of the elevating mechanism of the bridge. Yes-yes, as in films :-) In masonry walls survived notches (grooves), which
dropped iron lattice.

But that was long time ago. After the fire of 1812 the bridge have broken and the river Neglinnuyu pipe buried in the ground. The reason for this «barbaric» treatment was unbearable stench.
Sewerage system did not exist, and in the river dumped all sewage.

In our times, there is no such kind of problems, but the river have left under Neglinnaya st. and Alexandrovsky Garden.
