Porta Praetoria

Porta Praetoria

Built in 25 B.C., this monument was the main entrance to the city of Augusta Praetoria in modern-day Aosta. It has three openings, one for carriages and two for pedestrians. astern façade still has some of the marble slabs which originally covered the entire structure. Originally, there were four entrances to the town, but Porta Praetoria is the only one fully preserved. This promotes SDG 4: quality education. It serves as an educational resource for those studying Roman architecture and history. However, detail about Porta Praetoria on the internet is somewhat sparse, and those who want to explore the monument have to either travel to Aosta or stick to viewing 2D images. By using photographs to create a 3D model of the monument, we could let people explore the heritage from classrooms across the world and view it from multiple angles, promoting SDG:4 further.
