Hierapolis March 2011 4838.jpg

Southern Byzantine Gate. Built of travertine blocks and reused masonry, some in marble and flanked by two towers. Like the North Byzantine Gate, it is characterised by a large arch resting on a monolithic architrave. However, the actual height of the door is somewhat lower than its northern twin. The surrounding wall had recently been reconstructed.
