Porta Maggiore

Porta Maggiore is an ancient Roman gateway and arch in Rome, built around 52 AD. It served both a functional and decorative purpose, connecting two major aqueducts—the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus—allowing water to flow into the city’s reservoirs. Its impressive structure features large archways and detailed stonework, symbolizing Roman engineering skill. Today, it stands as a historical landmark and a notable example of Roman architecture, reflecting Rome’s advanced infrastructure and urban planning during the empire’s height.
