Porta San Giorgio, City gate in Verona, Italy.

Porta San Giorgio is a gate on the left bank of the Adige in Verona's magistral walls. Its intact outer front, faced in smooth white stone, follows the scheme of a triumphal arch with a central fornix and paired architraved side portals, in Doric order with shields and plaques of the Venetian provveditori. The inner front, added in 1840 in rough tufa, repeats the three-bay layout with three equal fornices.

Construction began in the early 1320s under Cangrande I della Scala and the gate was later rebuilt during Venetian rule. The reconstruction around 1525 updated its appearance to match new artistic styles and methods of that era.

The gate is named after the nearby church of San Giorgio in Braida, whose dome was designed by Sanmicheli. The Renaissance outer front, added in 1525–1526, carries shields and commemorative plaques of the Venetian provveditori, the officials who oversaw Verona's fortifications. The inner face, built in 1840 under Austrian rule, uses rough tufa masonry.

The gate is located near the Church of San Giorgio in Braida and sits along the path to Verona's historic center. Visitors can view the structure from multiple angles and easily combine a visit with exploring the surrounding neighborhood.

The gate's plan is rectangular and asymmetrical, with a central carriage passage, a side pedestrian passage, and rooms for the military guard and the customs guard. The walls of the passages are fitted with firing slits, and the bomb-proof roof carried a rifle position on its terrace.
