Porta Querquetulana, Ancient gate in Servian Wall, Rome, Italy
The Porta Querquetulana stands between the Porta Caelimontana and Porta Esquilina, marking an entrance through Rome's defensive Servian Wall system.
The gate received its name from a sacred oak grove that existed near the entrance during the Republican period of ancient Rome.
Roman architects incorporated this gate into the Servian Wall's design, positioning it strategically on the crest of the Caelian Hill along Via Tusculana.
Modern scholars locate the gate's remains near the Church of SS Quattro Coronati, though exact placement continues to generate academic discussions.
Archaeological evidence of a Republican cemetery zone west of the Arco di Basile supports theories about the gate's location near SS Quattro Coronati.
