The Market gate of Miletus dates from about 120 AD. It is almost 17m high and 29m wide.The well preserved elements of the gate, which were destroyed by an earthquake around the year 1100, were dug up by Theodor Wiegand during the museum's excavations (1899–1913).

Miletus was an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia.
