Gerasa (Jerash) - Great Gate of the Temple of Artemis

Through this monumental entrance one passes up a majestic flight of stone stairs to the courtyard of the Temple. At the head of the stairs stand two stone altars dedicated by pious individuals to the goddess. On either side of the gate there are shops. The gate was completed about the year A.D. 150.
