Porta Vercellina, Medieval city gate in Milan, Italy.
The gate stands as part of the Medieval walls system, constructed with robust stone materials and featuring defensive architectural elements.
Built during the 9th century as part of Milan's Roman fortifications, Porta Vercellina underwent multiple relocations until its final position at Via Carducci.
The structure received its name from the road connecting Milan to Vercelli, reflecting the traditional practice of naming gates after their destination cities.
Modern visitors can locate the gate's remains at the intersection of Via Carducci and the medieval city walls, near several public transportation stops.
The gate transformed from a military fortification into a toll collection point before its demolition in 1885, marking Milan's urban evolution.
