Contrada del
Gallo

The Contrada of Porta Salaja, or Solaja extends from Costarella to Casa Accarigi along the road called Galgaria, and then turning towards Diacceto, it takes onto the road of Saint Pellegrino, where the four Consuls of the Wool Guild reside, and then for Vicolo Codennacci it enters the road of the Officials, and going back to Costarella, it ends at Vicolo di Mattasalaja, called Chiasso del Bargello, it acts as a sign for a red field with a white door with two arches, with a white rooster above.

This Contrada introduces a Rooster to the Campo di Siena by car, as did the year 1518, and the year 1534. Tommasi wrote in his stories that Galgaria wonders, almost Caligaria practicing the Art of the Shoemakers today (adds the Tommasi himself) others write to be called Salaja, so that salt was sold there in ancient times, or Gallinaja, because before and outside the market there was a market for similar foodstuffs, which they argue from Gallo, which he carries as a sign.
