The ancient city gate
Porta Romana dei Leoni
is one of the most interesting remains of Roman Verona. Dating from the 1st century A.D., it originally consisted of two towers – only one survived. As for the lions (the gates’ name came from a sarcophagus lid bearing two lions) – they are in the gardens down the road opposite the San Fermo church. Recent archeological excavations in the area of the Gate have revealed its foundations as well as extensive sections of the road paving and the base of a ancient Roman tower. Everything is clearly visible in the specially constructed protective enclosure in the middle of the road flanking the Gate.
