Archi di Porta Nuova, Medieval gate in Milan, Italy.
The Porta Nuova features two original central arches with additional lateral passages integrated during the nineteenth-century restoration phase.
This twelfth-century gate, integrated into Milan's fortifications, served as a primary entry point for travelers and merchants crossing through the city.
The exterior facade maintains a marble altar depicting the Madonna and Child, illustrating the integration of religious symbols in Milanese architecture.
Visitors can access the gate from Piazza Cavour and examine the ancient Roman steles incorporated into the structure.
This gate represents one of only two preserved entrances from Milan's medieval walls, alongside Porta Ticinese.

Italy contains historical sites away from regular destinations. Cliffs host villages, ancient ruins mark the landscape and monasteries hide in nature. Underground Roman houses, cave churches with frescoes and medieval gardens document history. The architecture and culture of different periods unite at each location.
