The Etruscan Arch, or better defined as the Monumental Etruscan Gate, was probably built in the 3rd century BC and is located on the north side of the ancient city walls of Perugia that extend for 3 kilometers. The two main gates were the Etruscan Arch, or Arch of Augustus, to the north, and Porta Marzia to the south, which I will tell you about later.

Rocca Paolina

Rocca Paolina is a historic 16th-century papal fortress. Built by order of Pope Paul III Farnese between 1540 and 1543, the Rocca Paolina represented the papal dominion over Perugia, consolidated after the victorious “Salt War” against the people of Perugia. Designed by the military architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, the construction of the fortress entailed the demolition of about a quarter of the city. The structure was divided into two complexes: a larger fortress on the Landone hill and a smaller one, called “Tenaglia”, located lower down and connected to the first by three fortified passages.
