Porta Vescovo, Verona, City gate in Verona, Italy
The Porta Vescovo features a central arch decorated with marble elements and stands as part of the medieval defensive walls of Verona.
Built in 1520 by architect Teodoro Trivulzio, the gate collected tolls for the bishop, leading to its name which translates to Bishop's Gate.
The gate represents Renaissance architecture principles through its structural design and decorative elements that mirror ancient Roman triumphal arches.
Located near Verona Porta Vescovo railway station, the gate provides access to the city through its central passage and pedestrian entry points.
The structure underwent modifications in the 1800s with the addition of military facilities, including barracks and an arsenal adjacent to the main gate.
