Description
Arched Medieval Gate in the medevial village of Civitavecchia in Arpino, Lazio, Central Italy
The ancient gate to the acropolis is a pointed arch just over 4 metres high. Its unusual design was only found at this time in Tyrins and Mycenae in Greece. The arch was built by overlapping stone blocks which grow smaller towards the top, and cut diagonally on the outside. A further semicircular wall was built much later in the 16th century, parts of which also survive today.
