Porta Camollia

Very beautiful – worth passing through it if you’re going from the station to the city centre (or vice-versa).

Porta Camollia is a beautiful gate that allows entrance to the northern part of the walled inner city of Siena. It is a rather busy gate with a large area in front of the gate where I can see where centenary can take place. There is also a market building on one side where there is also a park where you can look out over the city to the east outside of the wall.

One of Siena's most important doors of the city. Quite a lot of traffic over here to cross the street. The doors are enormous! Suprr close to bus stops, mini mall, university and more.

Beautiful entrance to the city of Siena. Definitely a must go-to location if going to Siena. There is also a market building on one side where there is also a park where you can look out over the city. If you come by car, you will need to leave the car on a public parking because you will not be allowed. There are many historic events occured around this place and this construction is a real proof of memory. The name of the gate is linked to the legend of the foundation of Siena.

I went to Siena for the day and came across this amazing piece of architecture. A must see if you are visiting the area. Be careful though as it isn't clear but the main archway is road, rather than path...and cars come through pretty quick. The side archways are for pedestrians.

Very nice views but not much else to do

Most likely this will be the entrance to the city if you are coming from the train station. If you come by car, you will need to leave the car on a public parking because you will not be allowed to trespass it (or if so, you'll get a nasty ZTL fine worth €100 or so)

Great way to enter the city walls for the first time. Allowed us to walk from one end of the city to the other and take in most of what the city has to offer.
