the Cassero di Porta Sant'Angelo is a really impressive city gate just below the church of San Michele Arcangelo.
Definitely worth walking the route out of the city, taking the VIA ACQVEDOTTO that directly connects the center of Perugia with this part of the city.

The Cassero di Porta di Sant'Angelo is one of the medieval gates of the city walls of Perugia. It can be seen in the Gonfalone della Giustizia, a painting by Perugino (1496–1498) kept in the National Gallery of Umbria.

Built in 1479 as the end point of the second medieval city fortifications, the city gate stands for the heyday of Perugia, which came to an end shortly thereafter due to the incorporation of the city into the papal church states.
