Porta Santa Maria is the historic medieval gate leading into the charming hilltop village of Lubriano, Italy. As an entrance to the village, there are no specific opening hours or entrance fees, making it a free attraction accessible year-round, though weather conditions might influence comfort during your visit. Accessibility within the historic center, which the gate ushers you into, may involve uneven cobblestone paths and inclines, so those with mobility issues should be prepared. Visits are typically solo and self-guided as you explore the village; a guided tour of Lubriano might provide historical context as you pass through. Expect to spend only a few minutes admiring the gate itself, but allocate 1-2 hours to explore the beautiful historic center of Lubriano, which offers stunning panoramic views, including those of Civita di Bagnoregio and the surrounding 'Badlands' (Calanchi). It serves as an iconic entry point, rather than a destination requiring a prolonged visit.
