What is sather gate?

Sather Gate is a historic landmark and iconic entrance to the University of California, Berkeley campus in Berkeley, California. It was named after Peder Sather, a prominent Norwegian-born banker and philanthropist who donated funds to the university in the late 19th century.

The gate was originally built in 1910 and was reconstructed in the 1980s to replicate the original design. It serves as the main entrance to the university campus from Telegraph Avenue and is a popular spot for visitors to take photos and for students to gather.

The gate features two large columns with intricate details and the university seal at the top. It is flanked by two smaller pedestrian gates that lead to Sproul Plaza, a central gathering area on campus.

Sather Gate is not only a symbol of the university but also a recognized landmark in the city of Berkeley. It is often used as a backdrop for events, protests, and ceremonies on campus.
