It possibly connects the entrance of the large ancient building complex to the city acropol. Tepemezari was subject to an archaeological excavation during 1969-1971. These excavations revealed the walls of a rectangular Roman building along North-South direction with dimensions of about 40 m. by 10 m. (140 ft. by 30 ft.).
