The Porta Poschiavina (named after the Poschiavino River) is a square tower and is now integrated into the surrounding buildings. The Porta Poschiavina (Porta Poschiavina sul Bernina, approximately 440 m above sea level) served as a connection to Graubünden via the old bridge (over the Adda River) through two consecutive round arches and a gatehouse with groin vaults. The groove of the portcullis can still be seen on the side of the tower facing the city. The visible frescoes date from the 15th century, including two figures of the Wild Man.
