Arch of Septimius Severus, Roman triumphal arch in Latakia, Syria.
The four-sided stone arch features Corinthian columns and stands at the intersection of ancient trade routes in eastern Latakia.
Built in 183 CE during the Roman Empire's expansion, this tetrapylon marked the eastern boundary of ancient Laodicea ad Mare.
The monument represents Roman architectural methods through its precise stone cutting techniques and structural engineering principles.
Located in a central public park along Port Said Street, the arch remains accessible for visitors throughout the year.
The cubic form of this tetrapylon differs from typical Roman arches, which contributed to its survival through multiple regional earthquakes.
