A visit to Hadrian's Gate is a must—have item in the program for those who want to experience the connection of times in Antalya. This is not a huge castle or an entire city, but an elegant and majestic symbol. It is amazing that these gates, built in 130 in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, still stand in the middle of the modern city! Walking under them, you literally touch the story. The well-preserved marble columns and carved details are particularly impressive. It is located in the very center, next to Karaalioglu Park, so you will not pass by. I advise you to stay for 15 minutes, look carefully and imagine how the Roman legions once marched here. It's free and very atmospheric!

Definitely worth a visit, but accompanied by a guide, with a group or on the edge with an audio guide. An independent viewing will not give a complete picture of the significance of this historical place. By the way, on the left side you will see how cool pigeons sit on a vertical wall, which is rarely seen anywhere! The whole place! It is a monumental Roman-era triumphal arch, built in 130 AD in honor of the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian.They consist of three arches and are among the best preserved monuments of antiquity in the city.The gate serves as the main entrance to Antalya's historic Kaleici district (Old Town). They are located on Ataturk Boulevard. Passing through this gate, you enter the narrow, charming streets of Kaleici, where you can see historical houses, the Yivli minaret and reach the old harbor. Stock up on water and go ahead! Have a good rest!

A beautiful place, the entrance to the "old town". Hadrian's Gate is one of the best preserved historical structures in Antalya. This Roman monument was built in 130 AD in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. A must-visit! To feel the old days. And the old town itself, with its narrow streets and numerous souvenir shops, is fascinating. And even if there are a lot of tourists, this will not prevent you from calmly examining everything, taking a walk and taking cool photos! I've been there several times and I don't get tired of this place! I recommend it!

This is a place of power! Enjoying the majestic structure of Hadrian's Gate, it simply does not fit in my head that it was built in 130! How could this have been done almost 1900 years ago??? I am very glad that everything has been restored, and you can come here at any time and admire this insane beauty. There are simply no words, it is necessary to visit it, and preferably more than once! I definitely recommend it, and it's also free!!!

It's a beautiful place. I took a tour and was satisfied. The guide loves his job. The man told all the pros and cons of Turkey, told the story of how houses were built and what poor areas were originally, and how rich they have become nowadays, told and showed the modern world of Turkey, how many young people are moving to Antalya and for what. He showed how houses where not particularly rich people lived look now, which beautiful museums and cafes and restaurants are now made of them. He told the story of the Greeks and where they lived and in which houses they lived and much more. One disadvantage that I had to deal with was only the flies that stuck like mosquitoes to the blood, near the famous gates themselves. Overall, I am very pleased that I attended this tour. It was very interesting, we went a lot and learned a lot of new things.

The iconic landmark of Antalya. Be sure to visit Kaleici! This is a wonderful place with wonderful views. A trip to Kas after visiting Kaleici will definitely disappoint you! There are many restaurants and shops here. Bright houses with painted shutters and balconies! Very atmospheric!

The most important attraction in Antalya. The Arc de Triomphe, erected in 130 in honor of the Roman Emperor Andrian, is magnificent and well preserved. The only preserved entrance gates of the walls surrounding the city and the harbor. These ancient gates are like a portal to the old city, along the cobblestone streets through which carts passed a thousand years ago in the Roman era.

The business card of Antalya, the entrance to the old town, many ancient streets where you can get lost and take a million beautiful photos, it's better to download offline maps earlier, the prices in the cafe are the same as in the city, the fortress borders the seaport from where you can take a sightseeing tour of the sea, while waiting for the start of the walk you can eat fresh fish grilled fish, the price is about 500 lira per dish, there is a free glass elevator from the port to the fortress wall, there are especially a lot of people after lunch, the fortress is about 2 thousand years old.

I really like the old town itself: it is beautiful, colorful, cozy, many pleasant shops, cafes, a port, an embankment, a bay .., it is not Turkey in the usual sense (it somehow reminded Croatia, Zadar). The gate is one of the main attractions of this place, as well as the minaret, the port and the square.., just walking around the old town has a purpose)) you come, you look, you see crowds of tourists, and you quickly turn into the first curved, quiet and cozy street you come across. Mission accomplished)) 🙏 moving on, hanging out in a cafe 🍹☕️ and watching passers-by from all over the world! High 😍

It is definitely worth visiting this attraction. This is a free, well-preserved part of the history, as well as this gate is the entrance to the historic Kaleici district. Hadrian's Gate is a triple arch in Antalya, built in 130 AD in honor of the Roman emperor. This beautifully preserved monument of the Roman Empire is a monumental portal with marble columns, coffered ceiling and carved ornaments. The uniqueness of the building is emphasized by two towers on the sides: the southern Roman tower of St. Julia and the northern tower of the 13th century. Traces of ancient chariots are visible under the central arch. Today, the gate serves as the entrance to the historic Kaleici district and is a popular free attraction surrounded by a cozy park. "According to rumors, the gate was so well preserved because it had been walled up for a long time and was less exposed to external influences.

It's very beautiful, the old town begins further outside the gate, and a narrow street opens onto the square, but be careful in this small and narrow street there is a man who supposedly cleans shoes, so don't be fooled by him because he doesn't say the cost, he says how many dashas, but at the same time for him 50 liras is It's not enough, a specific razvedilovo, we pass by without paying attention.

Beautiful antique gate (partially restored), the entrance to the Old Town of Antalya, a place of attraction for tourists and local weddings. We were interested in the depressions on the slab of the central arch, which are very similar to the traces of wagons that have been passing there for centuries, it is impressive and gives a true idea of the time of the gate's existence.

Hadrian's Gate — Time travel! This place is really breathtaking! Standing under the majestic arches, you feel how history literally comes to life around you. The atmosphere is steeped in antiquity — it seems that Roman legionnaires are about to turn the corner. The magnificent architecture, preserved through the centuries, impresses with its scale and details. A must-visit for anyone who is interested in history and just wants to feel like a part of the ancient world!

It's interesting to visit and enter the old town through them once! There is no huge flow of tourists, so you can safely take pictures. You can touch the walls with your hands) which adds charm, so maybe someone touched these walls many centuries ago. There are a lot of different cafes near the gate

It's not just a gateway to the Old Town, it's a living history. This triumphal arch was erected in honor of Emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in 130. The towers and fortress walls have since partially survived, the upper tier of the gate, also called Triple Gates, has not reached our days either, but the lower one with 3 arches and marble columns in front of them have been perfectly preserved. There are always a lot of people here, especially a lot of tourists, because everyone probably wants to touch history at least that much.

A wonderful example of an ancient gate, well preserved because in the Byzantine period they did not favor their triumphant significance in the Roman perception of it and simply sealed up with stones as part of the wall. In general, the old city of Antalya is a pleasant discovery, I thought it was just a transit point on the way to more interesting parts of the Turkish Mediterranean, but it turned out that you can take yourself a walk for the whole day. I recommend an examination.

The place is strange, you need to know the history to be impressed. Antalya's old town, which begins outside the gate, has retained its architecture. It is pedestrian-friendly with narrow streets. Houses with a stone lower floor and a second floor extending into the street. The first floors are cafes, hotels and souvenir shops. Going down you will get to the port of Antalya. There are several pleasure yachts in the port, but no large ships there. There are also viewing platforms with views of the sea and mountains-it's very beautiful.

It's beautiful, there's nothing to say grandly, and touching this historic place is like making a leap in history. Hadrian's Gate is a triumphal arch in Antalya (Turkey), erected in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who visited Attalia in 130. This is the only preserved entrance gate of the walls surrounding the city and the harbor.1 The structure consists of two colonnaded facades, three entrance arches rising above four pylons, and towers standing on both sides. The gate is about 8 meters high.
