Porta Schiavonia, Baroque city gate in Forlì, Italy.

The monumental Porta Schiavonia stands at the northern entrance of Forlì, featuring classical proportions and refined architectural details from the 1750s construction period.

The gate underwent multiple reconstructions, including a significant rebuild in 1743 when it received an arch dedicated to Cardinal Camillo Merlini Paulucci.

A painting of Madonna del Fuoco with Saints Valeriano and Mercuriale once decorated the gate's lunette facing the bridge toward Faenza.

The gate marks the entry point to Forlì's historic center, situated along the ancient Via Emilia road near the Montone River.

The structure remains the only surviving gate from Forlì's original city walls, with visible remnants of the Rocchetta fortification nearby.
