Description
Malatestas family gave to the centre of Cesena its shape resembling a
scorpion, inside the walls, of which today we can see large parts. Of
the ancient gates, three still exist: Porta Montanara (near the Fortress,
one of the three accesses to the citadel called 'murata'), Porta Santi
(or Romana, 'the tail of the scorpion') and Porta Fiume (or Porta del
Ponte, ancient main entrance to Cesena). Another gate, Cervese, was
replaced in 1800 by Barriera Cavour.
No signs, on the contrary, of Porta
Figarola and Porta Trova.
