Porta Romana is one of the ancient gates in the walls of Siena, located on the route of the ancient Via Cassia. It was built in 1327 - 1328 by Agnolo di Ventura and Agostino di Giovanni, equipped with battlements and a defensive wall. In 1417, Taddeo di Bartolo was commissioned to paint the fresco that was to adorn it with a depiction of the Virgin, like the other city gates, to implore divine protection for the city. In 1978, the frescoes, due to advanced deterioration, were detached and transferred to the Basilica of San Francesco. However, there is a Roman inscription at the Porta Romana!The inscription was written on a travertine tablet and, based on its graphic characters and content, can be dated to the Augustan period (27 BC – 0) saying "Silvanus sacr(um) / C. Victricius / Memor VIvir / [a] ugustalis posuit" = Caio Victricio Memore Seviro augustale dedicated a small temple to Silvanus.

In Siena, as we know, your eye always falls there, on the shell-shaped Campo or the striped marble of the Duomo. And rightly so. But then there are those places that speak to you in a different voice, more raspy and sincere. Porta Romana is one of them. Let's be clear: this isn't a small archway placed there for show. This is a beast of brick and stone, a fortress planted to the south to tell those arriving from Rome: "Be careful, you're entering Siena." It's massive, imposing, it makes you feel small and immediately reminds you that this city was once a serious thing, a power that had to be defended. It has none of the frills of other monuments; it gets straight to the point, and for me, its charm begins right there.

The Porta Romana, also known as Porta Nuova, is one of the gates in the medieval walls of Siena. The gate was built in 1327-1328. It has a complex structure with two separate portals separated by a small courtyard, and the inner gate is higher than the outer one. The large arches are covered with travertine marble. In 1417, Taddeo di Bartolo was commissioned to paint the Madonna icon on the inner portal, dedicated to the protection of the city. The painting was further updated by Sassetta and later Sano di Pietro who completed it in 1466.

Excellent starting point for immersing yourself in the Tuscan dirt roads and in the landscapes of the collective imagination. A cyclist's paradise, provided that in the warm months it is well equipped with water resources (refueling fountains are scarce on the "Eroic" circuits).

A stop in Buonconvento is absolutely recommended because it is a delightful small town. Stop for half an hour, tour the small village, have a coffee in the bars frequented by many cyclists and then set off again.

Forced "crossroads" with many structures - it is not for nothing that it is also a crossroads for the Eroica.

Built in the 14th century, it is one of the oldest gates of the Siena city walls which enclose the historic center of the city. Like the other city gates, it was decorated with the figure of the Virgin in 1417 to invoke her divine protection.

Not just beautiful, slim, elegant. You can also climb up and enjoy incredible views from almost 100m high.

About the BAPTISTRY: In the immediate vicinity of the large Italian cathedrals / basilicas there is always a separate baptistery (which in important cities can sometimes take on the dimensions of a church), called the “Baptistery”. Saint John the Baptist, like Saint Joseph, is a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven. John the Baptist's memorial day in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.

Great place with a special atmosphere. Also just to sit there and enjoy the moment and watch the hustle and bustle. The square has an arena character as it slopes towards the front. There are numerous restaurants and cafés all around the upper rear ring.

Very beautiful Gothic building, which has a particularly noble and special character due to its white-green marble. You should definitely see it if you are in Siena or the surrounding area 🤗👍
