Volterra’s Etruscan gate

Peeking at the Tuscany countryside through Volterra’s Etruscan gate

Volterra’s Etruscan gate, or Porta all’Arco, was built in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC and largely still stands today. The main difference is the three heads protruding from the gate’s arch, which have been eroded away by the elements.
