Heracles Gate

This is at the beginning of Curates Avenue to the west of the Memmius Monument. It had two floors. Below there was an arched entrance and six columns above. This later structure was made to resemble motifs of the Gate of Heracles. It was thought to have been built in the 4th or 5th centuries. Some pieces of the entrance remain. The Gate of Heracles was built in the 2nd century and later moved to this location.
