Porta Reale, City gate in Noto, Italy.
The triumphal arch features two pilasters with Corinthian capitals and stands at the beginning of Corso Vittorio Emanuele, marking the entrance to the historic center.
Built in 1838 to honor King Ferdinand of Borbone, the gate was designed by Neapolitan architect Orazio Angelini following the reconstruction of Noto after the 1693 earthquake.
Three sculptures crown the gate's structure: a tower representing strength, a dog symbolizing loyalty, and a pelican depicting self-sacrifice.
The gate provides direct access to Corso Vittorio Emanuele, where visitors find numerous restaurants, shops, and architectural landmarks within walking distance.
Two distinct coats of arms decorate the arch's upper section: one belongs to the Marquis of Cannicarao family, while the other represents the city of Noto.
