Le Due Porte - Siena - Tuscany

The Arco delle Due Porte or Arch of Two Doors is one of the surviving portals in the 11th-century walls of Siena. It is also called the Porta di Stalloreggi, with the gates known as San Quirico, Santa Margherita, and the Arco di Santa Lucia.[1] It was the entrance to the most southwestern end of Via Stalloreggi in Siena, Tuscany region, Italy. Outside the portal, in the Piazetta dell Due Porte are a confluence of streets: Via Fosso di Sant'Ansano runs south, Via Paolo Mascagni runs west, and Pian dei Mantellini runs south. Via Mascagni, about 200 meters leads down the slope to the 13th-century gate: Porta Laterina. Pian dei Mantellini leads to the church and monastery del Carmine.
