Porta Maggiore

The Porta Maggiore, one of the eastern gates in the Aurelian Walls that once encircled the seven hills of ancient Rome, now stands as a remarkably well-preserved centerpiece in one of central Rome’s bustling intersections. Originally, two roads passed through its large arches, facilitating movement and trade. Today, visitors can explore this historical site and observe the Tomb of the Baker, an unusual and lavish tomb located just outside the gate, adding to the area’s rich archaeological and historical significance.
