Porta di Santa Maria, Medieval gate in Chioggia, Italy
The Porta di Santa Maria features a tall stone tower with an arched passageway, marking the southern entrance to the Renaissance center of Chioggia.
Built around 1300, the gate received its current name Porta Garibaldi to commemorate Giuseppe Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand in 1860.
A relief of a lion, representing the Serenissima Republic of Venice, decorates the archway following the 1520 renovation under Podestà Gerolamo Barbarigo.
The gate stands at the intersection of multiple pedestrian routes, providing access to the historic district through its wide stone passage.
Inside the tower, a Latin inscription marks the passage of Pope Pius VI on March 10, 1782, during his journey to Vienna.
