Porta Garibaldi, Neoclassical city gate in Milan, Italy.

The stone city gate features a central arch with two side portals and Doric columns, standing at the intersection of Corso Como and Corso Garibaldi.

Originally named Porta Comasina, the gate was reconstructed between 1826 and 1828 by architect Giacomo Moraglia to honor Emperor Francis I of Austria's visit.

The gate received its current name in 1860 to commemorate Giuseppe Garibaldi and stands as part of the Spanish defensive walls system of Milan.

The structure includes two customs houses added in 1836, which served as checkpoints for people and goods entering the city of Milan.

The gate's moderate size was specifically designed to match the narrow, winding road that once led to this northern entry point of Milan.
