Over the roman gateway, through the main walls built in 1160 AD., there are clear signs of where the archway has been reduced twice in succession. When entering, above the gateway stands the inscription "Colonia Ianu-ensis 1113". To the left, low down, can be seen three marble basins of uncertain origin used to measure respectively fixed quantities of grain and wine. On the wall overhead Porto Venere’s original emblem, three symmetrical towers on a rocky cliff, still used today as the town symbol.
