Dating back to the 1st century AD, this ancient structure served as the main entrance to the Roman city of Augusta Taurinorum. The gate features two massive towers flanking a central archway, which would have once been part of the city's defensive walls. Today, Porta Palatina stands as a significant historical monument, offering a glimpse into the architectural and urban planning prowess of the Roman Empire.
