This entrance gate to Halicarnassus is thought to have been constructed in 360 BC. When Alexander the Great came to storm the city, he was unable to pass the deep, broad trench in front of the gate. When the gate was restored a couple of years ago, archaeologists found the remainders of the trench and found its measurements to be exactly as contemporary texts had reported. Next to the gate there is a Turkish cemetery and some vaulted tombs from Hellenistic and Roman periods.
