Porta Nuova, Renaissance city gate in Verona, Italy
The Porta Nuova stands between two military bastions, constructed with ashlar stone and featuring Doric architectural elements drawn from Roman traditions.
Architect Michele Sanmicheli designed this fortified entrance in 1532, completing the countryside elevation and interior sections by 1535.
The gate incorporates architectural elements reflecting the Venetian Republic's intention to strengthen and enhance its territorial dominance through monumental structures.
Two lateral arches, added during the 19th century modifications, now allow vehicle traffic to pass through the structure into Verona's center.
A direct road from Porta Nuova leads to Piazza Bra and the Roman Arena, creating a purposeful connection between the city entrance and its central attractions.
