Porta Vittoria, City gate in Verona, Italy

The neoclassical structure features a single arched opening flanked by paired Doric columns constructed with smooth stone blocks along the Adige River.

The original gate, built between 1287 and 1289 under Alberto della Scala, underwent reconstruction in 1838 when it was relocated slightly east of its medieval position.

The gate received its name from the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, built after Cangrande II prevented a conspiracy by his brother Fregnano.

The gate stands at coordinates 45.4357923, 11.0017209, providing access to the city through the defensive walls on the left bank of the Adige River.

In 1375, Antonio della Scala added a wall extension to support a chain system designed to control river traffic on the Adige.
