Hadrian's Gate
Hadrian's Gate Review
One way to enter the old town is via Hadrian's Gate, a short walk from the main Saat Kulesi intersection, along the pleasant palm-lined Atatürk Caddesi outside the eastern edge of the old town walls. The gate was constructed in honor of a visit by the Roman emperor in AD 130 and has three arches, each with coffered ceilings decorated with rosettes. Ruts in the marble road show where carts once trundled through. From here a straight Roman road leads through town past Kesik Minare Camii to the Hidirlik Külesi and the sea.
