While this "magic door" is famous to Romans, it is barely noticed by tourists visiting Rome. But the remains of an old villa reveal a Magic or Alchemist Door, a portal into the real and secretive world of 1600s alchemy. It is the only remaining of five gate doors to the Marquis Palombara's villa. According to legend, the Marquis met an alchemist at a dinner party who told him he could use a certain herb to turn metals to gold. In the morning the alchemist (said to be Giuseppe Francesco Borri, a sort of alchemical zelig) was gone but had left behind some gold flakes, evidence apparently of his successful transformations, and an indecipherable sheet, the "recipe" for the transformation. Because the Marquis was unable to read it he inscribed the recipe on his doors in the hope that someone who could understand it would see it and come knocking.

La Porta Alchemic, also known as Porta Magica or Hermetic Door or Gate of Heaven, is a monument built between 1655 and 1680 by Massimiliano Palombara Marquis Pietraforte at his residence, Palombara villa, situated in the countryside east of Rome on the Esquiline Hill to the position corresponding to today's Piazza Vittorio, where today was placed. La Porta Alchemy is the only survivor of the five gates of the villa Palombara lost on the arc of the door on the opposite side there was an inscription that can date it to 1680, there were also lost four other inscriptions on the walls of the building within the villa. According to legend, handed down in 1802 by the abbot and scholar Girolamo Francesco Cancellieri, a pilgrim stibeum was housed in the villa for a night. The "pilgrim", identified with the alchemist Francesco Giustiniani Bono, stayed for a night in the gardens in search of a mysterious grass capable of producing gold, the next morning he was seen to disappear for ever through the door, but left behind some gold particles result of a successful alchemical transmutation, and a mysterious card full of puzzles and magic symbols that would contain the secret of the Philosopher's Stone.
