Șchei Gate, Poarta Șchei in the Șcheii Brașovului (old ethnically Bulgarian and Romanian neighborhood). It was built in between 1827 and 1828 in order to let through heightened traffic. The Latin inscriptions on the wall above the small arches let us know the construction date, but they also inform us that the gate was built after the Emperor of Austria, Francis I, visited Brașov in 1817.
