Porta Palio, Verona, Renaissance city gate in Verona, Italy.
The exterior facade of Porta Palio displays a collection of Doric columns and classical ornamental features across its stone structure.
Michele Sanmicheli designed and directed the construction of Porta Palio between 1550 and 1561, though he passed away before its completion in 1559.
The gate received its name from the traditional 'palio del drappo verde' races, where runners and horses competed for a 12-meter green banner.
Visitors can access Porta Palio between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. during weekdays, with the structure located at Stradone Porta Palio.
The gate presents two contrasting facades: a simple design facing the city and an elaborate exterior facade welcoming visitors along Via Postumia.
