Porta Camollia, Siena, Medieval city gate in Siena, Italy
The gate features three stone arches, with the inner arch displaying a marble bas-relief of the IHS Christogram within a sun symbol.
The original thirteenth-century structure was demolished during the 1555 siege of Siena, leading to the construction of the current gate in 1604.
The Latin inscription 'Cor magis tibi sena pandit' on the gate conveys that Siena's heart extends beyond the physical dimensions of the entrance.
Located at the northern end of Via Camollia, the gate provides access to the historic district through the medieval walls of Siena.
The Antiporto di Camollia, positioned forty meters from the main gate, served as an additional fortification to protect the Via Francigena route.
