Abstract
The architecture of medieval Derbent is composed of monuments preserved by the third millennium. The article considers the semiotic space of Derbent's stone gates. Gates as elements of architecture are an integral part of the urban environment and convey historical and cultural information, have a significant impact on the formation of ideas and meanings. The article defines semiotic mechanisms that generate meanings and influence on culture and communications. These mechanisms operate on the concepts of language and text, and are expressed through forms, symbols, and images. The author gives a description of city gates as architectural objects through form and certain functions. Each aspect has a special meaning interpreted by the society and can be used for communication. The architectural and socio-cultural space of Derbent gates is enriched with new texts and meanings making them valuable cultural media.
