Amphitheater and Acropolis541 viewsLooking west. The Amphitheater was built into the side of the Acropolis.

North Agora viewed from the Acropolis507 viewsThe north agora is a large public square (202 X 72 m), originally enclosed by stoas (porches) on all sides. Parts of the south and east stoas have remained standing since antiquity, and the north stoa was partially uncovered in excavations in the 1960s. Archaeologists believe this was the original center of Hellenistic Aphrodisias.

Tetrapylon504 viewsThis is the first structure you would normally see upon entry to the site. For us it was the last, since we walked the site in reverse. The Tetrapylon consisted of four rows of four columns (tetra = four and pylon = gateway in Greek). Built in the second century AD, It was extensively repaired and re-erected in 1990.
