 Over the centuries, however, the Palatine Gate was also known by some other names, such as "Porta Comitale" (Count's Gate, allegedly referring to a count's residence), "Porta Doranea" or "Porta Doranica" (since it led to the Dora river) and later as "Porta Palazzo" (a clear synonym of "Porta Palatina").The "Porta Principalis Dextra" served as an access to the "cardo maximus", currently identified in "Via Porta Palatina" and "Via San Tommaso".Its impressive remains are currently visible at the center of an open area, today's "Piazza Cesare Augusto".
