Porta Sanqualis
The Porta Sanqualis, an ancient city gate, was once part of the Servian Wall in Rome. It was named after the nearby Temple of Sancus on the Quirinal Hill. As the southernmost of five gates in this area, it represented an access point, whose exact location is reconstructible through preserved wall remains.
History+
The gate was an element of the Servian Wall, one of Rome's oldest fortifications. It was situated south of the Temple of Sancus on the Collis Mucialis. The Porta Sanqualis is associated with wall remains at Largo Magnanapoli, though it is unclear whether the tuff blocks found there belonged directly to the gate or formed its outer structure. In the immediate vicinity, within the former Palazzo Antonelli, remains of a multi-story building, likely from the Sullan era, have also been discovered.
