The Porta Viminalis was an ancient city gate in the Servian Wall in Rome.
The Porta Viminalis was located in the northeastern section of the city wall in the middle of the heavily fortified part known as the agger. It was named after the Viminal Hill, on which it stood. Within the city, the vicus Patricius led to the Porta Viminalis. The name of the road that led from this gate into the countryside, for which a gate was established south of the Praetorian camp during the construction of the Aurelian Wall, is not known; it may have been a branch of the Via Tiburtina.
Remains of the Porta Viminalis are preserved on the modern Piazza dei Cinquecento at Stazione Termini.
