The Lefke gate, which is in good condition. I took lots of pictures there. This is from the outside, what looks like the remains of some sarcophagus has been used to brighten things up.

The gate dates from the first century AD, and an inscription thanks Hadrian for having it restored after an 120 AD earthquake.
