이곳의 정수를 느끼려면, 현재의 계곡 대신 깊이 200미터의 바다가 펼쳐져 있던 시대를 상상해야 합니다. 시에나는 해안 도시였을 것이고, 키안티 산맥에서 내려오는 강들은 물에 퇴적물을 쏟아냈을 것입니다. 바위 덩어리들은 해안에 남아 있었고, 더 작고 가벼운 입자들, 즉 점토는 분지의 중심부에 집중되어 바닥에 가라앉았습니다. 약 백만 년 전, 물이 빠지면서 그 해저가 융기하여 우리에게 크레테 세네시를 선사했습니다. 오늘날에도 땅의 주름 사이를 걷다 보면 굴 화석이나 돌고래, 상어와 같은 고대 해양 생물의 흔적을 발견하는 것이 드물지 않은데, 이는 물에 잠겼던 과거의 증거입니다.

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.

Very cool place for water refilling. Nice artwork.

Great place to stop by for sure!
