  Interesting site to visit, not alot to do, but it boggles your mind when you think of the age and how this place came to be. Worth the trip  more »

  È un luogo storico. È l'ingresso principale del centro storico sammarinese: di giorno è presente il vigile nella garitta di fronte, che gestisce il traffico e fa attraversare la gente. Si gode di un panorama mozzafiato e a lato della Porta vi sono due bar molto famosi: il Bar Giulietti, frequentato per lo più da giovani (è un posto piuttosto di tendenza), ed il Bar Torretta, ideale invece per guardare la partita o giocare a carte (fanno anche ricariche telefoniche e di carte di credito, oltre a vendere i gratta e vinci). Quando ci sono festività o giornate particolari di solito chiudono la strada, che resta comunque accessibile ai pedoni. Visitare il centro storico lo sconsiglio a chi gira in carrozzina o col passeggino, poiché è tutto in salita (un po' ripida) e non ci sono ascensori. Eventualmente si potrebbe parcheggiare sopra, ad esempio al parcheggio 6 o 7, ma bisognerebbe comunque scegliere i "percorsi" meno ripidi, ad esempio passando per la cava dei balestrieri

  It's a historic place. It is the main entrance of the old San Marino: by day there is the vigilante in the garrison in front, who manages the traffic and makes people cross. There are two very famous bars at the side of the Gate: Bar Giulietti, which is mostly popular with young people (it's a pretty trendy place), and Bar Torretta, which is ideal for watching the game or playing cards (they also make charging sphonies). credit cards, as well as selling scratch cards). When there are holidays or special days they usually close the road, which is still accessible to pedestrians. Visiting the old town I do not recommend it to those who ride in a wheelchair or stroller, as it is all uphill (a bit steep) and there are no lifts. Possibly you could park above, for example in parking 6 or 7, but you should still choose the least steep "paths", for example passing through the crossbow quarry
