According to some, it can be placed in the middle of the Iron Age between the VIII/VII century BC. the pointed arch of the acropolis of Civitavecchia is the only survivor of its kind in the whole Mediterranean area. This is a typical shelf arch which forms a "scea" door.
The whole Acropolis is beautiful, as is the view from up there.
