Porta Sanqualis
The Porta Sanqualis was an ancient city gate of the Servian Wall in Rome .
The gate was named after the nearby Temple of Sancus , which rose on the Quirinal . The gate was located south of the temple on the Collis Mucialis and was the southernmost of a total of five city gates of the Servian Wall in this area, the course of which is well accessible there based on numerous remains. The porta Sanqualis is associated with the remains of the wall on Largo Magnanapoli and must have been very close to it, if the preserved tuff blocks did not belong to the gate itself and formed its exterior. In the immediate vicinity in the former Palazzo Antonelli remains of a storey complex from the Sullan era have been preserved.
