Potong Gate (reconstructed 1473, rebuilt post-Korean War)

Potong Gate sits at the intersection of Mansudae and Chollima Street. It was originally constructed in the Goguryeo period as the west gate of Pyongyang's chief fortress. It was reconstructed in 1473 and renovated several times thereafter. Unfortunately, the historic gate was destroyed in the Korean war. The rebuilt gate sits about 55 meters from its original location in order to stand at the intersection of the streets.
