Porta Carini, Neoclassical city gate in Capo district, Palermo, Italy.

Porta Carini is a neoclassical city gate in the Capo district constructed of limestone and featuring four square-based columns with Doric capitals. A balustrade runs across the top with ornamental stone vases placed at intervals.

The gate was first documented in 1310 and underwent reconstruction in 1782 when its original vaulted arch was removed. This change defined its current appearance and reflected evolving architectural approaches in Palermo.

Porta Carini stands at the entrance to Palermo's Capo market, a few steps from the Tribunale and the Teatro Massimo. Its name comes from the Carini estate, granted in 1397 to Ubertino La Grua for repairs he made to the gate after the 1325 clashes. The road leaving the gate leads to the church of San Francesco di Paola.

Porta Carini stands at the entrance to the Capo street market, a few steps from the Palermo courthouse and the Teatro Massimo. The city's technical office restored it in 2000 using funds tied to the UN Transnational Conference against Organised Crime, adding night lighting. The 1782 gate has no vaulted arch, so pedestrians pass through the open gap between its columns.

In 1789 nuns from the Concezione monastery purchased the gate's adjacent bulwark and transformed it into a recreational area with views across the city. This addition made the location more than just a passage point.
