Wonderful and ornate entrance door to the Kaleici, the carvings are so beautiful, you can see why the romans decided to keep it and just incorporate it into their walls.

I can't really imagine what it was like to live in a time when cities were walled in for protection, but you can see the might that was needed to invade whan you stand at the huge Hadrian's gate and see the walls! Great to get some history of the place rather than just sunbathe and party (plenty of that too though!!).
