Building Notes

This tower stood 433 feet high, and marked the entryway to the Court of the Universe. It consisted of an archway on top of which stood square a peripteral colonnade. This large central colonnade was marked by four smaller colonnades placed at all four corners. The square central colonnade was surmounted by two smaller round ones, diminishing in size. The last round colonnade was topped by a finial.
