The Princes’ Gates is an iconic landmark located at the east entrance to Exhibition Place in Toronto, Canada. Built in 1927 to commemorate the visit of Prince Edward and Prince George to Toronto, the gates were designed by architects Chapman and Oxley in a style that combines Beaux-Arts and Renaissance Revival elements. The gates are made of reinforced concrete and adorned with sculptures and bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Canadian history and industry, including a sculpture of a woman at the top holding a wreath symbolizing peace and victory.
The Princes’ Gates have undergone several renovations over the years, including a major restoration in the 1980s to repair damage from weather and pollution. Today, they are a popular spot for tourists to take photos, especially during the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) when the gates are lit up with colorful lights. The gates are also a designated heritage property in Toronto, protected by the city’s Heritage Preservation Services.
Aside from their architectural significance, the Princes’ Gates also hold historical significance as a symbol of Canada’s ties to the British monarchy. They are located near other notable landmarks, including the Enercare Centre, BMO Field, and the Canadian National Exhibition grounds.
