The Sillyon Main City Gate
Abstract
Sillyon’s Main City Gate is a structure situated in the southwest part of the city. It consists of a complex with a courtyard entry gate and two towers. It is called the “Main City Gate” because it is the largest known gate of Sillyon and because it is the only entrance that allow both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. We encounter examples of courtyard entry gates from the Archaic period in Pamphylia and from the Hellenistic period in Side, Perge, and Sillyon. These gates are the result of the defense strategies developed due to the political developments in the region but lost their function in the Roman period. Yet they became an important element of the urban landscape. In this study, we examined all the details of the gate and tried to determine its position within the city plan, especially regarding the city’s defense. It is suggested that the Sillyon example is the product of a tradition that was carried out in Pamphylia in the Hellenistic period, such as on the gates of Perge and Side, and is transformed into a representative character due to the periodic developments in the region
