Porte de Savoie

The gate features distinctive fish-bone patterns on its surface and round windows arranged in an alternating offset configuration along its walls.

Built during the 3rd to 4th century AD, Porta Savoia remains the only preserved entrance from the original Roman walls that once protected Susa.

The structure received its name from the House of Savoy and holds additional recognition as Porta del Paradiso due to its proximity to San Giusto Cathedral.

Located at Piazza Savoia 28, this free-access monument welcomes visitors throughout the day and connects to numerous walking paths through Susa's center.

The gate's architectural design incorporates specific defensive elements while maintaining its function as a primary passageway toward the Mont Cenis mountain pass.
