Petrtoli and the Three Arches

Largo Giacomo Leopardi, 5, 63848 Petritoli FM, Italy. Ancient Petrania gate built in the first half of the fifteenth century with the aim of reinforcing the slightly more backward fourteenth-century gate. The new door, part of a quadrilateral, was equipped with a drawbridge, had only one entrance and the wall was set between two cylindrical towers All four sides were equipped with battlements both inside and outside. The Three Arches were built in 1872 to "give light and air" to the internal square by breaking down the original wall. Made in neo-Gothic style, the Three Arches have a purely decorative function and the number three is not accidental. From the outside of the Three Arches, you can see all three "Petrania" doors that have followed one another over the centuries. The first, at the top right, above the Mannocchi palace, was built around the mid-twelfth century, the second, to the left of the same palace, in the fourteenth century and the third ... the Three Arches.
