Fans of the Stargate movies and television series will see the similarity to a Moongate. Unfortunately, it is not a functioning Stargate and cannot be converted into one. Just step through one and your imagination can take you anywhere! Originally of Chinese design, Moongates were brought to Bermuda in the late 19th century thanks to the British fascination with Chinese culture. The Chinese gate design served as an ornamental entrance way to homes and gardens.
In Bermuda, the Moongate became a national icon. There are approximately forty, free-standing gates spread out across the island. It is considered good luck for newlyweds to walk through the gates right after being married. Moongates present a fantastic photo opportunity for newlyweds, tourists, and locals.
