The Royal Gate in Finalborgo.
Although there are several entrances or gates to enter the ancient and splendid village of Finalborgo, the one called Royal is certainly the most beautiful and well-known.
Partly because of the frescoes on the outside, partly because there are the old walls and partly because you can glimpse, just behind the walls, the church and the bell tower of San Biagio.
A sight that welcomes you!
