The gate of the Saline in 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.

La Porta delle Saline a Rapallo

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.

I took a lot of photos in the town of Rapallo and you can find almost all of them in this page or by searching in the various articles specific to the Ligurian city.
I refer you to the Rapallo tourist promotion website: hellorapallo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.rapallo.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you want to learn more about the history of the city of Rapallo I recommend: Ieri a Rapallo and Rapallo. La storia nei secoli. Tesori e tradizioni della città e del suo territorio. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and Tigullio I invite you to read the guide: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.

Ciao,
La porta delle Saline è chiamata così, perché è situata nelle vicinanze delle Saline – oggi convertite nei giardini -, di cui anticamente la famiglia genovese dei Doria teneva il monopolio.
Oggi, divide il lungomare dalla città antica. Al centro del sovrastante altare barocco, custodisce una riproduzione dell’icona della Madonna di Montallegro, patrona della città.
La notizia più antica, riguardante le mura di Rapallo, si trova in un atto notarile del 26 Aprile 1221, stipulato in “punta muri Rapalli“. Fra gli altri documenti, c’è un decreto del 12 Febbraio 1629, della Repubblica di Genova, in cui Rapallo viene proclamata Borgo murato.
Le porte erano in tutto 5. Le altre porte, tutte scomparse, erano la Porta Occidentale – o degli Orti – distrutta nel 1874, la Porta Aquilonare – o di Sant’Antonio – abbattuta nel 1702, la Porta di Pozzarello o “del Molinello” diroccata nel 1810, che si trovava presso il torrente San Francesco, alla cui foce, sorgeva la Porta Orientale, demolita nel 1821 per aprire la strada statale.
Spero ti sia utile. Parte delle informazioni le ho trovate su http://www.iltigullio.com
