Title
Porta La Maja
Porta La Maja or Porta del Carmine, as surmounted by a stone statue of the Virgin of Carmel, was built in the fourteenth century. The current profile is the result of seventeenth-century renovations; the arch is flanked by twin semi-columns with capitals, architrave and tympanum. In the center stands the coat of arms of the Savoia Family.
