Porta di San Pietro (o Romana)
The St. Peter's Gate (or Roman Gate), is one of the Medieval gates of Perugia, inserted in the walls of the XIII-XIV century. The exterior was made of travertine by Agostino di Duccio and Polidoro di Stefano between 1475 and 1480, according to a Renaissance design. The project also provided for the realization of a "caditoria" door. An inscription remembers a restoration in 1765, curated by Francesco degli Ubaldi. The interior facade has preserved its fourteenth century: the arch is topped with a niche in which there is a painting of 1817 showing the Madonna of the Rosary with Saints Dominic and Francis. The depth of the Gate is such that, at its core, is hosted the thirteenth-century St. James's Chapel (or of Good Counsel), renovated in the sixteenth century.
