Summary

Description Destroyed by an earthquake around the 6th century AD, this gate was constructed with sandstone blocks during the 2nd century AD. It was covered with decorated lime plaster which is still showing on some of its stones. The 20-metre high central section has been reconstructed; it was preserved to its middle height when it was first discovered.
