The original village of Priverno in the Middle Ages was surrounded by large stone walls, to defend themselves from enemy attacks, and it was accessed through seven gates.
In the early 1900s the gates were destroyed for 'greater air circulation' and today remain only the Arco di Porta San Marco or Porta Romana and the Arch Porta Posterola or Neapolitan, which is the only one still working.
Porta Napoletana appears as a large pointed arch on the inside a round arch on the outside and is decorated by a fine ashlar.
Porta San Marco was built in the twelfth century and is now a ruin in via F. Zaccaleoni.
The arch is pointed made with squared and chiselled limestone and under it passed the road that led to Rome.
