The Doors of Durin – The Secret Entrance to Moria

The Doors of Durin, also known as the Doors of Moria, are one of the most famous gateways in Middle-earth, located on the western side of the Mines of Moria. Created by the Dwarves during the reign of Durin, these magical doors once connected Khazad-dûm and Eregion, facilitating trade with the Elves.

Built from ithildin, a special material that is only visible under moonlight or starlight, the doors could only be opened by speaking the password in Sindarin. When the Fellowship of the Ring arrives at Moria, Gandalf struggles to unlock them before realizing the answer to the riddle: "Mellon", which simply means "Friend".

These legendary doors set the stage for one of the most unforgettable moments in The Lord of the Rings, as the Watcher in the Water attacks, forcing the Fellowship into the dark depths of Moria.
