Hierapolis - Byzantine Gate Photo

Photographer’s Note

At the southern entrance to Frontinus Street, Hierapolis is a Byzantine Gate, part of the 4th-century Byzantine wall that protected the city from invaders. The was constructed from reused material from the agora which was demolished at this time. The gate is characterized by a relieving arch that is decorated at the top by a circle with a cross-like symbol. Just inside the gate (see WORKSHOP) are numerous reconstructed columns of shop fronts along the once busy street. At the end is the south gate with three arches that I illustrated in my previous post.

Hi Chris
It would have been even better framed a little bit higher, I like how your PP enhances the dramatism of these old stones
Have a nice day JY
