The gate of Porta Angelica near St. Peter`s Square in Rome, Italy #166307563
Description
Two arches remains of the gate of Porta Angelica near St. Peter`s Square in Rome, Italy. It rose close to the corner of the present Viale dei Bastioni di Michelangelo, Piazza Risorgimento and Via di Porta Angelica not far away from St. Peter`s Square. Here took place, on April 30, 1849, the first attack against the Roman Republic launched by the French troops led by General Charles Oudinot and fought against by the defenders on the orders of Giuseppe Garibaldi. The gate was demolished in 1888, together with the whole stretch of wall that linked it to The Castel of the Holy Angel.
