PORTA SAVOIA
Gate of military architecture with an access to the medieval center with 2 cylindrical towers

The passageway arch, opened in 1750, gives access to the medieval centre, with its arcades, dwellings and the towers of the noble families. It is also known as the Gateway to Paradise, because the cemetery of San Giusto Cathedral was right next door...
