Description
View of one of the towers at the Porta Asinaria, a gateway in the Aurelian walls in Rome, Italy. "Twin circular towers were added and a small enclosure built around the entrance; the remains are still visible. From outside the walls you can see the gate's white travertine facade and two rows of small windows giving light to two corridors built into the wall above the gateway,"--from DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Rome
