Porta Ognissanti, City gate at Via del Portello, Padua, Italy.
The white Istrian marble gate features eight columns rising from the Piovego river waters, with a clock tower emerging from its top section.
The gate was constructed in 1518 by architect Guglielmo Grizi, replacing an older structure to facilitate trade between Padua and Venice along the river route.
Stone carvings of chessboard and Nine Men's Morris patterns remain visible on the parapet, indicating games played by guards during their duties.
The three-arch bridge structure allows vehicle traffic to cross over the Canale Piovego while connecting the city center with surrounding areas.
The internal architrave displays the inscription Pons Omnium Sanctorum, while four trachyte cannonballs decorate the gate's architectural elements.
