Sestiere di Porta Nuova, Historical district in Milan, Italy

The Sestiere di Porta Nuova extends throughout the northern section of Milan's historic center, marked by the Navigli canal system boundaries.

This district developed around the medieval Porta Nuova gate, which replaced the Roman Porta Aurea following the expansion of Milan's defensive walls in 291 CE.

The district's coat of arms features four squares in black and white, reflecting the historical subdivisions of Milan's administrative regions.

The area connects to major transportation routes and contains the Palace of Justice, which served as Milan's municipal headquarters for centuries.

The territory encompasses five distinct medieval districts, including the Noble District of Bossi and the District of Spiga.
