Episcopio di Porto, Medieval fortified settlement in Fiumicino, Italy
The Episcopio di Porto features preserved city walls with battlements, including an entrance gate decorated with Pope Sixtus IV coat of arms.
In 1483, Pope Sixtus IV ordered restoration works while staying with Bishop Rodrigo Borgia, leading to substantial improvements in the architectural complex.
The central courtyard contains the Church of Saints Hyppolitus and Lucy, which houses sacred relics of Fiumicino's patron saint.
The complex received extensive renovations around 2000, including improvements to walls, facades, residences, and the installation of evening illumination systems.
The entrance gate incorporates two marble columns transferred from the Necropolis of Portus, connecting the structure to the ancient Roman port city.
