    Porta del Popolo is a city gate of the Aurelian Wall in Rome, marking the border between Piazza del Popolo and Piazzale Flaminio. The gate was originally called Porta Flaminia because the Via Flaminia, an important road to the north, passed through it. The current gate was built in the 16th century by Nanni di Baccio Bigio, according to a design by Michelangelo, on behalf of Pope Pius IV. The gate has a concave facade with three portals, decorated with marble reliefs and lashes. The central dome has a spiral lantern and a flaming crown.
