One of the most important gates of the Roman wall.
To the north of the city, allowing access to the Nomentano district, Porta Pia is one of the most important gates of the Roman wall. It was erected 100 meters from the old Nomentana gate under Pope Pius IV in 1564. Its interior façade was one of the last works of Michelangelo. It was also through this gate that Garibaldi entered Rome on September 20, 1870. That day, the Italian artillery managed to open a breach in the wall marking the end of the Papal State, and the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy.
