Porta Santi Quaranta, City gate and national heritage site in Treviso, Italy.
Porta Santi Quaranta stands as a western entrance point within the medieval defensive walls that encircle the historical center of Treviso.
The gate was constructed in 1509 under the direction of engineer Giovanni Monsignori during a period of fortification against potential attacks from the League of Cambrai.
The gate's name commemorates the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, while its structure features the winged lion symbol representing the influence of the Venetian Republic.
Modern visitors can access the historical center through this entrance point, which connects to a network of walking paths along the preserved city walls.
The gate incorporates advanced hydraulic systems that could manipulate water levels around the city as a defensive strategy against invading forces.
