Porta Romana
The southern city gate gives a substantial view of Siena’s wall circuit on the historic road toward Rome. See it from both sides to understand the old entrance.
This substantial southern gate ties Siena’s wall circuit to the road toward Rome and the pilgrim route through the city. Stand outside and inside the threshold to read it as an entrance, not simply a facade. It anchors a southward walk beyond the central civic squares.
