[3] Hadrian's Gate consists of two colonnaded facades, three entry arches rising above four pylons and a tower standing on either side.

[2] The bottom section of the Northern Tower is from Roman times, but the upper part was rebuilt in the first half of the thirteenth century AD during the reign of Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubat I[2] and contains an inscription in Arabic script.

The pavement was stripped away to reveal the original Roman era walkway, which can be seen through perspex flooring while walking through the main arch.

[10] Visitors to the Gate can look down and see incredibly deep grooves where the pavement was worn away by countless carts passing in and out of the city.

According to local legend, Sultana Belkis, the Queen of Sheba, is said to have passed under those gates and enjoyed a happy day in the palace in Aspendos on her way to visit King Solomon.
