Golden Gate Alt-Bosch - one of the most famous and prominent sights of Elista, the capital of Kalmykia. The Golden Gates are located in the heart of the city and attract a lot of tourists. The gates represent a high golden arch, executed in the traditional Buddhist style. The arch is supported by thin red columns. The total height of the building is 15 meters. The arc stars are decorated with 28 paintings by the artist Nikolai Borisov - the drawings depict the most important events of the Kalmyk history and look very colorful. To date, Alt-Bosch is one of the most famous symbols of Elista and a popular tourist attraction.
