Porta Ticinese, Medieval city gate in central Milan, Italy.
The Medieval Porta Ticinese features a central gothic passage with two lateral arches, topped by a merlion tower at the intersection of Corso di Porta Ticinese.
Built in the 12th century as part of Milan's defensive walls, the gate underwent substantial renovation in 1861 when architect Camillo Boito added two Gothic side arches.
The gate marks the entrance to the Navigli district, where the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio and the Roman columns of San Lorenzo attract numerous visitors.
Located at coordinates 45.457618, 9.180982, the gate serves as a reference point for discovering churches, historical sites, and the Wall of Dolls installation.
Local residents refer to the gate as Porta Cicca, derived from Spanish 'chica' meaning small, reflecting the historical Spanish influence on Milan.
