Byzantium Gate
The Byzantium Gate of Hierapolis, built in the 4th century AD, served as the main southern entrance during the Byzantine era.
Flanked by round towers and linked to city walls, it marked a shift from Roman urban openness to fortified Christian settlements.
Located near the necropolis and colonnaded street, it welcomed pilgrims visiting the sacred sites of St. Philip and the thermal springs. Today, it stands as a symbol of transition, faith, and resilience in late antiquity.
