Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta The church, dating to the twelfth century, has a plain rectangular plan with a wall covering in square stones. Outside the massive portal is embellished with decorations, maybe originating from the Abbazia di Sant'Antimo. The gabled bell tower and the vestry are original, too. The apse is crowned with corbels and decorated with suspended arches. On the left side there is another monumental portal whose arch is supported by two columns and contains a decorated shape. The extremely plain interior is lit up by narrow slits, one in the apse.

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.

The area is stunning, and the views of the hills are fantastic. Meadows alternate with clayey areas, cracks in the ground, and rows of trees offer breathtaking views that are even more beautiful and fiery at sunset. You can leisurely stroll along the beautiful roads, enjoying the scenery.

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.
