Portoni della Bra, Medieval gate in Piazza Bra, Verona, Italy
The Portoni della Bra features two rounded arches constructed with Veronese marble at the base and red bricks in the upper sections.
The gate structure originated in 1257 and later became part of a covered passage connecting Castelvecchio to the fortified citadel during Visconti rule.
The gateway marks the entrance to Piazza Bra, where the Arena di Verona hosts numerous performances and cultural gatherings throughout the year.
The Pentagona Tower stands beside the gate, providing visitors with an excellent reference point for navigating through the historical center of Verona.
A clock installed between the two arches in 1872 continues to mark time for pedestrians passing through this medieval entrance point.
