Porta Salaria

The Porta Salaria was an Aurelian gate in Rome that existed until it was demolished in 1921.

History

Roman Empire

Porta Salaria was part of the Aurelian Walls built by Emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century, including pre-existing constructions in order to expedite the works. Under it passed the Via Salaria nova, which joined the Via Salaria vetus outside the city. The gate had a single passage and was flanked by two semi-circular towers.[1]
