This gate connects Dovmont town and Krom. Initially Dovmont Wall had only one gate, the so-called Smerdyi gate (from the word "smerd" meaning a slave or a servant) that led to the place of popular assembly. The foundation of the second, Great or Trinity Gate, is described in an old legend. In 1137 prince Vsevolod-Gavriil, who was banished from Novgorod, was invited to rule Pskov. Such a decision was caused by the desire of the citizens of Pskov to emphasize their independence from Novgorod. The banished prince only ruled Pskov for one year but is remembered in history as one of the city patrons. He caused the construction of the first stone building of St. Trinity Cathedral and also the church of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonikim, where the prince was buried. In 1192 after the prince was canonized his relics had to be moved to St. Trinity Cathedral. That night the saint prince came in a dream to one of the citizens of Pskov. In this vision the prince ordered that his relics were not to be brought through Smerdyi gate but that a new gate was to be built at the side of the Pskova River and this gate should be used for the transportation of his relics. That is, the legend says, how the Great gate appeared.
