Domitian Gate
About Domitian Gate
Domitian Gate marks the grand northern entrance to Hierapolis, built in the late 1st century AD to honor Emperor Domitian.
This triple-arched Roman gateway, flanked by massive towers, welcomed travelers into the city’s sacred and civic spaces. It once led directly to the colonnaded street and symbolizes Roman authority and architectural precision.
Domitian Gate is still a significant historical site that provides information regarding the artistic and architectural accomplishment.
Partly restored, its surviving stonework still reflects the imperial presence and strategic design that shaped Hierapolis’ urban landscape.
