Hurtige fakta: Den romerske kejser Hadrian besøgte Antalya i 130 e.Kr., og denne trebuede marmorport blev bygget til at markere hans ankomst. Porten var skjult under århundreders bymure, indtil en omhyggelig udgravning i 1950'erne afslørede den i næsten perfekt stand.
Højdepunkter: Se nøje på portens to flankerende tårne: det sydlige er oprindelig romersk konstruktion, mens det nordlige blev genopbygget af seljuk-tyrkerne århundreder senere, hvilket skaber en utilsigtet tidskapsel af to imperier. De indviklede blomsterudskæringer langs buerne viser stadig spor af den originale maling, der engang bragte dem til live.
Insidertips
- For the best photo, position yourself on the old town side and frame the shot through the central arch to capture the tower beyond.
- The grooves worn into the marble road surface beneath the gate are actual Roman-era chariot tracks.
- Visit just before sunset, then walk through the gate into the old town for dinner as the street lights come on.
- Spend a moment reading the plaque on the southern tower to learn how a 1950s excavation unearthed this monument.
