Market Gate of Miletus, Archaeological find at Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany

The Market Gate of Miletus stands as a marble structure measuring 29 meters wide and 17 meters high with three access openings and decorative friezes.

German archaeologists excavated this second-century Roman gate from ancient Miletus between 1903 and 1907, transporting over 750 tons of fragments to Berlin for reconstruction.

The gate displays Roman architectural elements including Corinthian columns, composite pillars, and relief sculptures depicting bulls and floral patterns across two levels.

Visitors can examine the monumental gate during regular opening hours at the Pergamon Museum, which provides detailed information panels in multiple languages.

The upper level contains niches that originally housed imperial statues showing Roman emperors in combat positions against their adversaries.
