Built in the medieval period as the entrance to the walls of the castle made by a continuous and closed circle of houses , it was restored in the last years of the XVI century and following,  until the last century. 

We know for sure that the two doors – even those at the end – were controlled by  armed guards , especially during the feasts or the special events , when the influx of foreigners could have caused problems of public order. 

At the middle of the XIII century , when probably was built the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, l the entrance to Via Sabina, today Via Roma, was controlled by this impressive structure which today give to us a memory of MIddle Age to the people who cross it and go inside the heart of the old town of Calvi dell’Umbria.
