Porta San Tommaso, Renaissance city gate in Treviso, Italy.

The northern entrance gate of Treviso features robust stone construction with Latin inscriptions on both sides of its central arch.

Paolo Nani designed this gate in the early 1500s, with construction carried out by Gugliemo D'Alzano from Bergamo and possible contributions from Venetian craftsmen.

The gate displays two different inscriptions: Venetian dialect on the exterior for countryside residents and Latin on the interior for the city nobility.

Visitors can reach Porta San Tommaso by following the medieval city walls that encircle the historical center of Treviso.

Despite the gate's dedication to Saint Thomas Becket by Venetian authorities, a statue of Saint Paul stands at its top due to Paolo Nani's personal choice.
