TRArchaeological excavations along B Street in the ancient city of Side, Turkey, have uncovered significant remains from the Roman period to Late Antiquity, including stoas, rooms, and monumental entrances. The findings include a stoa from the second century AD, three monumental gates, West Gate, Heracles Gate, and North Bath Gate, with the latter featuring reliefs depicting the Twelve Labors of Heracles and deities such as Athena, Zeus, Artemis, Hygieia, and Tyche. These reliefs, dated to the early third century AD, were later repurposed during Late Antiquity. The street underwent major transformations in the fifth century AD, becoming part of the Episcopal Palace complex and evolving into a grand urban thoroughfare. The Culture and Tourism Minister emphasized the historical significance of these discoveries.
