The best preserved sections of the 3.5km/2mi of defensive walls at Aphrodisias are found along the northeast of the site. Erected at the time of Constantine the Great (306-37) they incorporate masonry from the ancient buildings. Above the northernmost of the three gateways is an inscription which originally read "May fortune favor the glorious metropolis of Aphrodisians". In the seventh century "Aphrodisians" was changed to "Stavropolitans".
