Porta San Marco
Porta San Marco marks a western break in Siena’s walls and an alternative approach out of the centre. It works as an exterior landmark on a western walk.
Porta San Marco offers a western opening in Siena’s defensive circuit, away from the better-known northern and southern gates. Following the wall to this point makes the city’s perimeter more legible. Use the gate as a landmark when leaving the centre toward the west.
What to look for

Useful to know
Use the western gate as a wall-circuit landmark rather than expecting a long interior visit.
