The Gate of the Kiss stands at the western end of the park that forms the middle section of the Calea Eroilor ensemble. It is a triumphal arch in travertine marble from Bâmpotoc, 6.45 metres wide and 5.13 metres tall, with every surface covered in the same compressed kiss motif — two half-circles joined, repeated like a frieze across the columns and lintel.
The gate faces west, toward the Table of Silence and the Jiu River. Walk through it heading east and the Endless Column appears in the distance at the far end of the avenue. The composition is deliberate: Brâncuși designed the axis as a processional route, and the Gate marks the transition from the park to the open avenue. The surrounding Brâncuși Park has been restored and is pleasant to walk through.
