Porta Nuova, Historic gate in Pisa, Italy.

Porta Nuova functions as an entry point into the city, featuring stone construction with architectural elements characteristic of 16th-century fortification design.

Built in 1562 as part of Pisa's defensive walls, this gate served as an official entrance point for distinguished visitors and governmental representatives.

The entrance marks the historical boundary between the inner city and external territories, representing the transition between different social and administrative spaces.

Located near Piazza dei Miracoli, visitors can access the gate through pedestrian walkways that connect to main tourist routes in Pisa.

The gate construction followed the Florentine occupation of Pisa, replacing an earlier entrance that displayed a marble lion symbolizing Pisan power.
