★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really like the historical buildings/ ancient city walls of Rome. Just around the corner of the must-go Archbasilica of St. John Lateran.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Historical roman city gate (build in 272.) near to the Lateran basilica and the highest obelisk in the world. Historic site where Goths under Totila broke city defences and conquered the city from Byzantines in 546. Current road goes little left from old gate. The monument to Francis/Francesco of Assisi is right after the entrance to the city..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In 1574 Pope Gregory XIII (Boncompagni) removed the travertine blocks of the cladding belonging this arch gate (known also as Porta Lateranensis) to reuse on the nearby new Porta di San Giovanni opened for 1575 Jubilee.
So this III century BC ancient opening of the Aurelian Walls, was closed till its restoration in 1951.
Originally was a small gate but Emperor Honorius (384-423) renovated it entirely by adding also the towers, a storm door and an internal courtyard.
