Porta Altinate, Medieval city gate in Padua, Italy
The stone gateway features a triumphal arch design with a brick tower rising above, marking a primary entrance to the historic center of Padua.
Originally constructed in the twelfth century, the gate underwent reconstruction in 1286 after crusaders burned it during conflicts against Ezzelino III da Romano in 1256.
The name Altinate derives from the Roman Via Emilia-Altinate, a major road that connected Bologna to Altino, leading toward the significant Roman city of Aquileia.
The gate stands at the intersection of Via Roma and Via Altinate, providing access to Piazza Garibaldi and the central shopping district of Padua.
The Monument to Alvise Pisani stands adjacent to the gate, featuring a St. Mark's Lion carved during the Napoleonic period.
