Gate of the Holy Cross in Veroli: the medieval entrance to the village
Porta Santa Croce is one of the few medieval gates of Veroli still intact. It was built between the 11th and 12th centuries, when the city expanded southward into the district of the same name. It appears as a round arch in solid stone, reinforced by lateral spurs. On top are the remains of a structure featuring a window and balcony. From here the guards controlled both the Sacco and the Liri Valleys.
Access to the district
After going through the gate, you enter the district of Santa Croce, where the medieval layout remains intact. Houses there still have Romanesque-Gothic arches and mullioned windows.
