PORTA DEL POPOLO
The Porta del Popolo is the northern gate of the ancient Aurelian Wall in Rome and was for centuries the main entrance to Rome. In this port starts the ancient Via Flaminia, which is still in use. Trough this road traveled many pilgrims from northwestern Europe to Rome and Vatican City. Pope Sixtus IV wanted a grand entrance in his city for pilgrims and ordered to build a new port.
