Porta Ticinese, Neoclassical city gate in Milan, Italy
A grand stone gate with ionic columns and a large tympanum marks the southwestern entrance to the city center of Milan.
The gate replaced a 16th-century Spanish structure in 1814, designed by architect Luigi Cagnola during the Napoleonic period of Milan.
The Latin inscription 'PACI POPVLORVM SOSPITAE' on the tympanum represents the celebration of peace after the Napoleonic wars in 1815.
Located in Piazzale XIV Maggio, the gate serves as an entrance point to the Navigli district, known for its restaurants and entertainment.
The structure features massive stone pillars combined with classical ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment in pure neoclassical style.
