Demolished or destroyed.
The Iberian Gate and Chapel stands at the north-western end of Red Square in Moscow's Tverskoy District, linking the square with Manege Square. Built in 1535 in the Uzorochye and Neoclassical styles, it is the only surviving gate of Kitay-gorod. Destroyed by the Soviet regime in 1931, it was rebuilt in the 1990s. A bronze plaque in front of the chapel marks kilometre zero of Russia's highway system.
