Hadrian’s Gate is a Roman triumphal arch in Antalya, Turkey, built in 130 AD to commemorate the visit of Emperor Hadrian. It is a well-preserved marble gateway forming part of the ancient city walls.

The monument presents a triple-arched façade with a larger central arch flanked by two smaller arches and attached towers. It sits at the entrance to Antalya’s historic Kaleiçi district and is a frequent focal point for photographs and short walks through the old town.

The gate was erected in 130 AD as a ceremonial entrance and has survived through Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods, undergoing repairs and conservation works over time. It marks one of the surviving Roman-era structures integrated into the later urban fabric of Antalya.

Hadrian’s Gate stands in Kaleiçi, Antalya’s historic centre, adjacent to the modern city and within walking distance of the old harbour and waterfront.

• Date and purpose: Constructed in honor of Emperor Hadrian’s visit in 130 AD; the three-arched marble gate is one of Antalya’s best-preserved Roman monuments.
• Access: Located at street level in Kaleiçi, it is easily reached on foot from Antalya’s old harbour and the surrounding historic district.
