Porta Quirinalis
The Porta Quirinalis was an ancient city gate of the Servian Wall in Rome .
The gate is mentioned only once in the ancient tradition by Sextus Pompeius Festus and therefore stood on the Quirinal , very close to the Temple of Quirinus . The gate was probably just north of the temple, because there a street, the course of which takes up the current Via delle Quattro Fontane, cut through the city wall. The remains of the gate are not preserved.
