Sestiere di Porta Orientale, Medieval district in central Milan, Italy.
The district extends through central Milan with numerous historical buildings, stone-paved streets, and traditional architectural elements from various periods.
The area obtained its name from the Eastern Gate of medieval Milan, which served as a crucial entry point until its demolition in 1818.
The district maintains five distinct contrade, each with specific symbols such as the silver sack for Contrada delle Farine and silver lamb for Contrada dell'Agnello.
Multiple metro stations and bus stops connect the district to other parts of Milan, making it convenient for visitors to explore the neighborhood.
The district's coat of arms features a black lion on a white field, as documented by historian Galvano Fiamma and carved on the Loggia degli Osii.
