The Porta Senese, also known as the Porta Franca or Romea, is one of the two main entrances to the city of Monteriggioni. This gate, which points towards Siena, is connected to the Porta Fiorentina, or San Giovanni gate (which points towards the Valdelsa region), by the Via I Maggio, which crosses Monteriggioni from east to west. The Porta Senese offers a beautiful panorama of the Montagnola Senese and the Chianti area. It is the main gateway to the city as it is located opposite the public car park.
