Porta
Santo Cesareo

The construction of this gate began in 1449, as part of the city's fortification works after the Ortanians destroyed the Rocca, which had become a place of tyranny, on the death of Martin V in 1431.

 

A first gate, demolished just after 1870, was surmounted by the coats of arms of Eugene IV and Nicholas V and completed the structure that can be seen today.

 

It is so called because it was built near a church, dedicated to this saint, that existed in 1337 but had already disappeared by the end of the 16th century.
