Porta Venezia, Neoclassical city gate in Milan, Italy.
The entrance features two symmetrical stone buildings with grand archways, ornate columns, and decorative elements typical of Italian neoclassical architecture.
The gate, designed by architect Rodolfo Vantini, formed part of the Spanish defensive walls constructed during the 16th century to safeguard Milan.
The surrounding district has transformed into a central meeting point for diverse communities, with Via Lecco establishing itself as Milan's primary LGBT+ zone.
Located at the intersection of Corso Venezia and Corso Buenos Aires, the gate marks the boundary between Milan's historical center and its modern shopping district.
The adjacent Montanelli Gardens, established in 1784, hold the distinction of being Milan's first public park and house Italy's largest planetarium.
