The Consular Gate and the Clock Tower of Spello.
One of the most beautiful villages in Umbria, famous for its flower displays, welcomes you with this splendid gate flanked by the Clock Tower with, on top, an olive tree (I think it is an olive tree).

Here's where the door is located:
Spello (Hispellum in Latin) is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag tourist-environmental quality brand, awarded by the Italian Touring Club. Spello was founded by the Umbrians and then named Hispellum in Roman times; it was then registered with the Lemonia tribe. Later declared "Colonia Giulia" by Caesar and "Splendidissima Colonia Julia" by Augustus, because it supported him in the war of Perugia; after the victory of Augustus, he himself ceded to Hispellum a good part of the territories governed by Perusia and the dominion of the city of Spello extended to the sources of the Clitunno, which were previously under the possession of Mevania. Later it was called "Flavia Costante" by Constantine. Ancient Spello was considered one of the most important cities in Roman Umbria.
