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). It is currently located in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. The glass roof of the Pergamon Museum was damaged in World War II leaving the Gate exposed to environmental damage.
