Eastern entrance gate to the old town.
The Porta a Selci is located on the Etruscan city wall and replaces the ancient east gate of Velathri. At the foundations of the ancient walls their old age is easily recognizable. Here began the Etruscan main road, the Decumanus. The road led to the west Velathris and ended at the West Gate.

The gate, part of the Etruscan walls of Volterra, is the one that gives access to the city from the roads coming from Siena.

Beautiful round tower. A little behind it is a state prison. I'd love to take a look inside. :D
