Flight of steps dating from the 4th-5th century, at Hierapolis ancient site in Denizli province of Turkey. This flight of step was built on the south-eastern side of the hill leading to the summit, with a difference in height between the top and the bottom of about 16 m. The stairway was 70m long and 4m wide. On the side facing the ravine it was supported by a retaining wall built over the tombs of the Roman cemetery. The steps, which were 1m wide on average, are made of irregular blocks of travertines.
