    The Hadrian's Gate is one of Antalya's oldest buildings and was built in the first half of the 2nd century on the occasion of a visit by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Presumably, it is also so well preserved because it was later integrated as a city gate in the medieval city wall. In addition to the three archways, the deeply ground ruts of the old oxcart are literally impressive.

      The story behind it is also very impressive. Definitely worth a visit.

        Hadrian's Gate (Turkish: Üçkapılar = "the three gates") in Antalya is one of the oldest and most important sights in the city.

            Hadrian's Gate (Turkish: Üçkapılar = "the three gates") is a significant landmark of Antalya, the ancient city of Attaleia, as is the famous harbor in the old town of Kaleici.

            The honorary gate, integrated into the city wall and flanked by two towers, was built to commemorate a visit by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Since Hadrian traveled to Asia Minor between 121 and 125 AD and between 128 and 132 AD, the building's dating is disputed. The magnificent decorations still give an idea of the opulence of the ancient period.
            The building had two dedicatory inscriptions, the one that no longer exists, bearing the title of Olympios. The emperor assumed this title in 129 AD, which is why this inscription could only have been added after this date. At least the southern tower, facing the gate, was dedicated to Hadrian's sister, Domitia Paulina, by Julia Sancta. Since the sister died shortly after Antinous around 130 AD, the tower was probably donated before Hadrian's second voyage.

              Hadrian's Gate was built in 130 AD to commemorate the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian to Attaleia (the ancient name of Antalya). Originally founded by King Attalus of Pergamon, the city became part of the Roman Empire and flourished as an important Mediterranean port. The gate served as a monumental gateway through the city walls surrounding the ancient city.

              The gate was largely unknown to the Western world until the Irish-British hydrographer Sir Francis Beaufort documented it in his travel journal, published in 1817. At that time, the gate had a second story, which no longer exists. It is believed that statues of Emperor Hadrian and his family once crowned the structure.

              Extensive restoration work began in the 1950s after the gate was rediscovered through the collapse of outer walls. The work included the removal of damaged walls, the exposure of the original Roman paving stones, and the conservation of bronze letters, which are now on display in museums around the world.
