The gate of the Saline in Rapallo

La Porta delle Saline a Rapallo

The Gate of the Saline in Rapallo.
To tell the truth, I didn't even know there was a door in Rapallo and this one in the photo was a real surprise.
It is located at the end of the seafront promenade and you can walk along it to enter the alley.
I read on the town's website that the name comes from some salt mines that were in the area.

If you know something more or want to write me something about it add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

I took several photos in the town of Rapallo, if you want to see them I am here:

It is the only survivor of the five gates of the ancient “walled village”, and owes its name to its proximity to the salt mines, of which the Genoese Doria family had a monopoly, which were active for many centuries in the flat area near the beach in the centre of the gulf.
