Porta Pozzuolo
or Porta San Biagio, as it is wrongly called
Porta Pozzuolo is an old opening
in the northern stret
ch
of the XIIIth century walls, which was closed in the XVIth
century and reopened to pedestrians after the Second World War with the wrong name
of Porta San Biagio. The latter was a gate which is still visible from the outside
of the walls in the area of the 'Prato' Gardens.
The name 'Pozzuolo' refers to an old well or spring that was nearby.
Inside the gate there are some stairs which take you to the west side of the church of San Domenico and the square of the same name.
