Porta Carini, Neoclassical city gate in Capo district, Palermo, Italy.
The limestone gate displays four square-based columns with Doric capitals, a balustrade, and decorative stone vases on its top section.
First documented in 1310 through Benvenuta Mastrangelo's testamentary provisions, the gate underwent reconstruction in 1782 without its original vaulted arch.
The gate marks the entrance to Capo Market, near Teatro Massimo and the courthouse, representing a connection between different areas of Palermo.
The municipality restored the structure in 2003, adding a night lighting system that illuminates its architectural features after sunset.
In 1789, nuns from the Concezione monastery purchased the gate's bulwark, transforming it into a recreational space and observation point.
