The gate was built by the Sullans following their conquest of Pompei in 80 BC, although this had been an access point through the city walls since the 3rd century BC.

 

Composed of three barrel arches, it opens onto the Roman road linking the city to nearby Herculaneum.

Passing through the gate on the left side, you can see marks in the walls where stones, launched by catapult, struck against them.

 

The large tomb here houses cremated bodies, placed in urns and interned in the tomb wall.
