Heidentor, Roman triumphal arch in Carnuntum, Austria
The Heidentor stands as a monumental tetrapylon structure with one remaining arch, measuring approximately 14.5 meters in width on each original facade point.
Between 354 and 361 AD, Emperor Constantius II ordered the construction of this triumphal monument to celebrate military achievements near the Roman city of Carnuntum.
The structure gained its name 'Heidentor' during medieval times when local residents interpreted the isolated monument as a giant's tomb in the landscape.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year and provides guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical context.
The monument contains evidence of a central plinth that likely supported a statue of either an emperor or deity during the Roman period.
