Porta San Jacopo, City gate in Lucca, Italy
The northern gateway of Lucca features a single entrance constructed with architectural simplicity, earning a local reference as the hole.
Built in 1930 during the fascist period, Porta San Jacopo was initially named Porta IV Novembre to commemorate the victory of November 4th.
The interior walls of Porta San Jacopo contain inscriptions from the fascist era, representing a period of significant political influence in Italian architecture.
The gate now functions as a primary access point for motor traffic, connecting the northern section of Lucca to its historic center.
Unlike other gates in Lucca's defensive system, Porta San Jacopo stands out for its modern construction date and minimalist architectural approach.
