This is the most ancient arched gate in the world. It consists of an arched corridor with arched openings on both ends. The gate was constructed in approximately 1850 BCE as part of the city's fortification system, and is built mostly of mud bricks with some calcareous limestone. It is 15 meters long, over 2 meters wide, and almost 4 meters high.
