Porta Caprara or Porta di Sopra is better known by popular tradition as Porta Reatina because it faces the city of Rieti.

Porta Caprara

With the two towers that surround it - once perhaps directly connected to the Rocca - it constitutes not only a particularly suggestive corner, but above all an aesthetic testimony of the ancient castle. According to the Reforms, two sentries guarded this gate. The gate gives access to Via degli Orti, a characteristic piece of land connected to the houses leaning against the walls.
