Porta Marzia, Etruscan city gate in Perugia, Italy.

The travertine arch measures 4.40 meters wide and features pilasters supporting a frame with inscriptions of Colonia Vibia and Augusta Perusia.

Originally positioned at the southern end of Etruscan city walls, Porta Marzia provided access to Via Amerina during the third century BC.

The gate displays five sculptures separated by fluted pilasters, including a central male figure representing Tinia, accompanied by figures of ancient deities.

Visitors can explore the underground sections through Via Bagliona, where medieval district remnants and exhibition spaces are located.

The gate was dismantled and reconstructed four meters away during the construction of Rocca Paolina between 1540 and 1543.
