Porta Caelimontana e Porta Querquetulana, Ancient city gates on Caelian Hill, Rome, Italy.
Two gates once opened in the Servian Wall, with only Porta Caelimontana remaining as the Arch of Dolabella and Silanus.
The gates predate the construction of the Servian Wall by approximately two centuries, marking the period of Rome's expansion under King Servius Tullius.
The name Querquetulana comes from Querquetulum, meaning oak woods in Latin, reflecting the natural environment of early Rome.
The remains of Porta Caelimontana stand at the beginning of Via San Paolo della Croce, featuring travertine blocks from 10 AD.
Saint John of Matha occupied a small chamber above the Porta Caelimontana arch from 1209 until his death in 1213.
