Contigliano. Coward gate

Contigliano. Coward gate

The northern access to Contigliano was via Porta Codarda - Coward gate. It has maintained a medieval appearance with portions of the ancient castle walls on one side while the other is now an apartment building.

The gate is adorned with a simple stone frame and a small circular marble emblem.

From this point you can enjoy a marvelous view of Mount Terminillo and the panorama of the entire plain of Rieti.
