The Porta Flaminia was a gate in the Aurelian Walls of Rome that opened directly into the Piazza del Popolo and therefore served as the northern entrance of the city. For its association with the Piazza del Popolo, it became known as the Porta del Popolo in modern times. Historically, it was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, one of Rome's most vital roads as it was the road north leading all the way to Ariminum.
Trivia
- In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, despite its database entry correctly describing it as the gate granting immediate access to the Piazza del Popolo, the Porta Flaminia is situated far from that plaza in the northeast corner of the Campagna District. The name is, in fact, misapplied to the gate that is in reality is the Porta Salaria, which in turn is misapplied to the gate to the immediate east that is actually the Porta Nomentana. The Porta del Popolo itself still features in the game, but it is incorrectly named the Porta Aurelia.
