C	Carla Ruiz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La imagen que desprende y la unió entre lo urbano y el pasado es una brutalidad como se unen en una simbiosis única. Una pena que esté en obras espero que sea para mejorarla o para poder mantenerla. Es increíble que a cada paso que des te encuentres con estas imágenes. The image that emerges and united between the urban and the past is a brutality as they come together in a unique symbiosis. A pity that it is in works I hope it is to improve it or to be able to maintain it. It's amazing that every step you take you find these images.
Z	Zygmunt Borowski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Porta Metronia jest jedną z wielu bram w murach Rzymu z III wieku. Brama znajduje się w południowej części muru między Porta San Giovanni na wschodzie i Porta Latina na południu. Pod koniec średniowiecza brama została zamknięta, a przejście zamurowane. Ze względu na rosnący ruch w czasach współczesnych, obok głównej bramy powstały cztery dodatkowe przejścia. Poziom gruntu wokół bramy na przestrzeni wieków znacznie się podniósł, dlatego oryginalne przejście znajduje się częściowo pod ziemią. Porta Metronia is one of the many gates in the walls of Rome from the third century. The gate is located in the south of the wall between Porta San Giovanni in the east and Porta Latina in the south. At the end of the Middle Ages, the gate was closed and the passage was bricked up. Due to the increasing traffic in modern times, four additional passages were created next to the main gate. The ground level around the gate has risen considerably over the centuries, which is why the original passage is partly underground.
M	Maria Braca on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Porta Metronia offre una panoramica sulle Mura Aureliane ;purtroppo il traffico e il cantiere della Metro oscurano il suo fascino. Porta Metronia offers an overview of the Aurelian Walls; unfortunately the traffic and the construction site of the Metro obscure its charm.
A	Andrea Remine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Anche se meno prestigiosa delle sue colleghe ( porta Asinaria e Porta Pinciana ) questa porta mantiene il suo fascino e la sua importanza storica. Nel tempo le furono assegnati vari nomi, ma sembrano tutti (compreso quello attuale) deformazioni da un originale Metrovia (derivato forse da un qualche Metrobius o Metronianus che pare potesse avere dei possedimenti in zona, durante il basso impero). Un'ipotesi un po' fantasiosa, nata ad opera dei filologi del XIV secolo, la definisce Porta Metaura, facendone derivare il nome da meta aurum, cioè il luogo in cui veniva depositato e pesato l'oro dei tributi che le province versavano a Roma, prima che venisse trasferito nelle casse dello Stato. Ma nessun elemento suffraga quest'ipotesi. L'unico nome che si discosta da queste radici è "Porta Gabiusa", dovuto al fatto che per la via che da lì partiva (l'attuale via Gallia), era possibile arrivare alla città di Gabii. Porta Metronia fa parte di uno dei punti di forza della capitale è senz'altro il Parco delle Mura Aureliane. Magico, storico, di importanza archeologica e architettonica inestimabile. Bello di giorno e affascinante e ammaliante di sera. Si percorre letteralmente la storia di Roma con una semplice passeggiata. Si può vedere Porta Metronia, Porta San Sebastiano e appunto Porta Latina. con l'adiacente museo delle Mura...bellissimo! Consiglio vivamente una visita! Although less prestigious than its colleagues (Porta Asinaria and Porta Pinciana) this door retains its charm and its historical importance. Over time it was given various names, but they all seem (including the current one) deformations from an original Metrovia (perhaps derived from some Metrobius or Metronianus that seems to have had possessions in the area during the late empire). A somewhat fanciful hypothesis, born by the philologists of the fourteenth century, defines it Porta Metaura, making it derive the name from meta aurum, that is the place where the gold of the taxes paid by the provinces to Rome was deposited and weighed. , before it was transferred to the state coffers. But no element supports this hypothesis. The only name that differs from these roots is "Porta Gabiusa", due to the fact that it was possible to reach the city of Gabii by the way that started from there (the current Via Gallia). Porta Metronia is part of one of the strengths of the capital is undoubtedly the Park of the Aurelian Walls. Magical, historical, of inestimable archaeological and architectural importance. Beautiful by day and charming and bewitching in the evening. You literally go through the history of Rome with a simple walk. You can see Porta Metronia, Porta San Sebastiano and Porta Latina. with the adjacent museum of the Walls ... beautiful! I highly recommend a visit!

R	Rudi Hesse on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another fascinating Porta of the Aurelian wall. It looks great in the night. The traffic is murderous. You can start here a nice walk along the Aurelian wall, first going south. It is perfect for jogging like a small parc, but also your dog and the other dogs love it here especially the fresh water of the aquaeduct...
V	Vasco Vaz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (I don't evaluate the historical relevancy of the monument, which is invaluable, I evaluate the supporting facilities that elevate the monument) There are no signs explaining the doors in the vicinity, hard to walk around as it has passing traffic all the time. Had some maintenance some years ago hence it looks good at the time of writing.
