Facts and practical information
Porta Nuova is a monumental gateway to the historic center of Verona, built between 1532 and 1540 under the direction of architect Michele Sanmicheli as part of a major renovation of the city's southern wall. The monument, in which one can see a successful fusion of the requirements of civil architecture and those of a military order and which is based on the noblest models of the Renaissance, was judged very positively by Giorgio Vasari, who in his Le vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori e architettori asserts that there was "already no other work of greater grandeur or better understanding."
