La cinta muraria medievale di Perugia, costruita per assecondare l’espansione della città, venne realizzata a cavallo tra il XIII ed il XIV secolo. Importanti porte delle mura medievali sono la Porta di san Pietro, la Porta di Sant’Angelo e la Torre degli Sciri. Porta San Pietro, detta anche Porta Romana, si trova alla fine di corso Cavour. La facciata esterna, progettata da Agostino di Duccio e Polidoro di Stefano alla fine del XV secolo, ispirandosi a Leon Battista Alberti rievoca negli elementi decorativi e nella struttura la composizione architettonica dell’Arco Etrusco. Era prevista anche la presenza di una porta caditoria, e di conseguenza di una torre, o una nicchia per manovrarla.
