Hadrian's Gate

Hadrian's Gate, also known as Üçkapılar ("Three Doors") is one of the most visited ancient monuments in Antalya, a city in the south of Turkey, sided by the Mediterranean Sea. It was built in 151-152 BCE to celebrate a visit of Emperor Hadrian to Attaleia, the ancient name of Antalya. Today, it still stands in the city center, and functions as one of the possible entrances to the area known as Kaleiçi ("Inside the Castle"), where many restaurants and souvenir shops are located.
