Porta Ovile
Porta Ovile connects the northern city ridge to the lower fountain route and surrounding wall fabric. The nearby lower waterworks give the gate extra context.
Porta Ovile makes the shift from Siena’s higher streets to the lower fountain route visible. It is useful to see the gate and then follow the descent toward Fonte Nuova d’Ovile. Together, wall and waterworks explain more than either stop does alone.
What to look for
Northern eastern gate by the old water route
Useful to know
Follow the descent toward Fonte Nuova d’Ovile if you want to connect wall and waterworks.
