Stone Archways

Stone archways are among the most visually striking architectural elements found throughout the ancient city of Gadara. These structures demonstrate the advanced engineering skills used during the Greco-Roman and later periods. Built primarily from local basalt stone, the archways once supported gateways, corridors, and public buildings. Many remain standing today, allowing visitors to clearly see their form and construction. For travelers, the stone archways offer excellent opportunities to appreciate ancient design while walking through preserved sections of the archaeological site.
