Together with the arch of Santa Elisabetta in the Porta Sant’Angelo district, it is part of an early city wall, outside the Etruscan city limits, probably built in the 12th-13th century, and called Porta Pesa. The area adjacent to the arch is known as Porta Pesa (or Weighing Gate), because from the early 1900s it was home to a toll barrier.
