Facts and practical information

The ancient Porta Ticinese is one of the three medieval gates of the city that still exist in modern Milan, together with the medieval Porta Nuova in Manzoni street and the Pusterla di Sant'Ambrogio. Originally built in the twelfth century, the structure of Porta Ticinese was restored in 1861 by Camillo Boito, who inserted two lateral arches next to the only original access. ()
