Porta di Sant’Antonio Perugia
History and Description

Opened in 1374, the gate took the place of an earlier entrance to the city that used to be located in the medieval walls on the north side of Perugia.
This earlier gate had been constructed in 1273.
The gate is named after the nearby Sant’Antonio Abate Church.
The brick walls on the outside of the gate belong to the 16th century defensive wall.
In 1859, the army from Piedmont entered the city here to liberate Perugia from ecclesiastical power.
