The Tetrapylon is a Roman four-way arch that marked the crossing of two main streets of ancient Laodicea, today's Latakia. It dates from the Roman period, around the end of the second century, and is the best-preserved monument of the ancient city. Its four arched sides support a small dome, and it stands in the old quarter of al-Sulaybeh near the port, one of the few visible reminders of Roman Latakia. The Latakia National Museum and the Great Mosque of Latakia are nearby.
