THE TEMENOS
Go there and contact
A triple-arched gate that allowed carts to pass through the center and pedestrians on either side, a must-see!
The street of the Colonnades ends with a monumental gate, delimiting the temenos or "sacred enclosure" from the profane part of the city. This triple-arched gate allowed the passage of carts in its center, and pedestrians on each side. The arches were equipped with wooden doors that were folded back into the niches inside the pillars. Some of the decorative friezes can still be seen coming from the city. The stone blocks were carved with floral or geometric motifs framing portraits of deities.
