Porte Palatine

Torino (Italy)

I think I have already told yout that Torino was founded by Roman soldiers.
Today I'm visitng the most ancient part of the town with Bruna.
Porta Palatina is the most conspicuos parts of Roman walls towers.
During the Middle Ages, the fortress was called "Palatium",
hence its present name.
On Via XX Settembre,there are some of the ruins of Roman Theatre,
near the basement of the Royal Palace too.
