Originally known as Porta della Fiera, it was rebuilt in 1841 in its current form; it faces via Occidentale, former state road 363, next to the Torre Adriana. The structure, articulated around a round arch, has a regular stone facing only on the external facade. On the top there is a pediment with a coat of arms and an inscription commemorating the date of inauguration of the road.

Built in the Middle Ages, this gateway is one of the main entrances to the ancient village. On one of its sides, you can read a verse by Gabriele D'Annunzio, which reads: "The city of stone, shone in the clear of May."
