Porta Amerina (also called Torre del Belvedere), characterized by its characteristic two arches, is, together with the Medieval Gate, all that remains of the ancient fortified complex of Montecastrilli.

The door rises on the cliff not far from the suggestive bell tower of the Church of San Nicolò with a view that sweeps over the countryside towards Amerino and looks in the direction of Farnetta and the ancient Church of San Lorenzo in Nifili.

A look from the terrace allows you to admire this splendid Umbrian countryside and gives a sense of what the fortified complex of Montecastrilli was like in the Middle Ages.
