Frontinus Gate & Street
Frontinus Kapısı
A triple-arched Roman triumphal gate and a kilometer-long colonnaded street, forming the face of Hierapolis's north entrance.
The Frontinus Gate was built between 84 and 86 CE under the direction of the provincial governor Frontinus. Its three arches are flanked by round towers. Inside the gate, Frontinus Street is lined with the remains of shops and public toilets, and walking south leads to the Byzantine Gate and the ancient pool. Entering the site from the north gate, you can first see the gate and the necropolis, then walk downhill all the way to the travertines. This route is easier on the legs.
