Hadrian's Gate (Turkish: Üçkapılar, meaning "The Three Gates") is a memorial gate located in Antalya, Turkey, which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in 130 CE.[1] It was later incorporated in the walls that surround the city and harbor, of which it is the only remaining entrance gate today.[2]
The gate was rediscovered by the Irish hydrographer Francis Beaufort in 1817, while commanding on HMS Fridericksteen.[3]
