Porta Leoni, Roman gate archaeological site in Verona, Italy
The marble structure features perimeter walls with two external watchtower bases, preserved two meters below the current street level.
Built during the first century CE, Porta Leoni controlled traffic along the primary north-south road known as cardo maximus in ancient Verona.
The site reveals multiple layers of civilizations, with visible elements demonstrating the engineering capabilities of Roman builders through preserved architectural details.
Visitors can access the archaeological remains through guided Underground Tours, which require advance reservations and include explanations of Roman construction methods.
The excavation site contains a Roman domus with an impluvium, atrium, and original mosaic flooring adjacent to the ancient gate structure.
