A 13th century gate looking out towards lake Trasimeno and towards Chiusi. It marks the outside border of the medieval town that sprung outside the perimeters of the Etruscan-Roman town. It leads to Fonti di Veggio, next to today’s railway station, and to San Prospero. It was later replaced by the new Porta Eburnea or Porta Crucia as it was called by the pontifical legate Santacroce who had it rebuilt in 1576, in the nearby Via Eburnea. Almost entirely closed up in the 19th century, it was reopened in the early 20th century.
