Porta San Giorgio, Florence, Medieval city gate in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy
The stone gate features a double arch entrance with a main portal adorned by intricate architectural elements from the Gothic period.
Constructed in 1324 as part of Florence's sixth defensive wall system, the gate underwent modifications in 1529 and substantial restoration work in 1937.
The interior houses a 14th-century fresco by Bicci di Lorenzo depicting Madonna with Child between Saints, including Saint George in armor.

A marble bas-relief showing Saint George slaying the dragon, created by Andrea da Pontedera, decorates the outer façade of the gate.
