Porta Montanara
Italy
Porta Montanara (lit. 'mountain gate'), historically known as Porta Sant'Andrea, is an ancient Roman city gate in the city of Rimini, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. Built after Sulla's civil war in the first century BC, the original construction comprised two arches. The north-facing arch was walled as early as the first or second century AD, and incorporated into a medieval cellar. It was uncovered by Allied aerial bombardment during the Second World War. After Rimini's liberation, the south-facing arch was destroyed by the occupying Allied forces to facilitate the passage of tanks through the city. In 1949, the remaining arch was deconstructed and reassembled in the courtyard of the Tempio Malatestiano. After moving a few metres in 1979, Porta Montanara was restored near its original location in 2004, at the southern end of Rimini's cardo maximus, on the road to the valley of the Marecchia.
