Eastgate in Chester, United Kingdom, is a historic city gate that forms part of the Roman and medieval walls encircling the city. It is famously adorned with the Eastgate Clock, which was added in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The clock is often considered one of the most photographed timepieces in the UK after Big Ben. Eastgate itself has evolved over centuries, originally serving as the eastern entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix.
