Porta Borsari, the main entrance to Verona in Roman times.
Porta Borsari, the main entrance to Verona in Roman times.
Porta Borsari is an ancient Roman gate in Verona, northern Italy.
It dates to the 1st century AD, though it was most likely built over a pre-existing gate from the 1st century BC. An inscription dating from emperor Gallienus' reign reports another reconstruction in 265 AD. The Via Postumia (which here became the decumanus maximus) passed through the gate, which was the city's main entrance and was therefore richly decorated. It also originally had an inner court, now disappeared.
The gate's Roman name was Porta Iovia, as it was located near a small temple dedicated to Jupiter lustralis. In the Middle Ages it was called Porta di San Zeno, while the current name derives from the guard soldiers which were paid the dazio (Latin bursarii).
The façade, in local white limestone, has two arches flanked by semi-columns with Corinthian capitals which supports entablature and pediment. In the upper part is a two-floor wall with twelve arched windows, some of which are included in small niches with triangular pediment.

Vom Fluss Adige bummelten wir in Richtung des berühmten Romanischen amphitheater, gesehen haben wir viele historische Highlights wie das Casa di Giulietta, den wunderschönen Piazza delle Erbe, die Ponte Pietra Brücke, das Borsari Tor nur als Beispiel.

Porta Borsari
Costruita verso la metà del I sec. d.C., era inizialmente chiamata Porta Iovia, dal vicino tempietto di Giove Lustrale. Nel medioevo fu chiamata Porta San Zeno e quindi Porta Borsari, probabilmente perché qui i c.d. Bursarii , cioè i gabellieri con la borsa, riscuotevano i dazi di entrata e di uscita delle merci. Dell'antico alzato, oggi rimane solo la facciata esterna verso l'agro, con il rivestimento d'età tardo imperiale. Il fronte viene a collocarsi pressappoco a metà tra la linea delle mura repubblicane in laterizio e le mura di Gallieno, costruite nel 265 d.C. in materiale vario di recupero. Il restauro delle mura è ricordato nella lunga iscrizione sull'architrave.

VERONA SOTTERRANEA - Alla scoperta della città romana
Verona è una città di fondazione e impostazione romana, ricca di monumenti splendidamente conservati e fruibili come l'Arena, il Teatro Romano, il Ponte Pietra, Porta Borsari, Porta Leoni e l'Arco dei Gavi.
Ma esiste anche una città sotterranea, che ci parla più profondamente della vita domestica e degli spazi pubblici, dei processi produttivi e del commercio, di potere, religione e schiavitù.

VERONA - Italy Travel Guide | Around The World
Verona is a city (pop. ~250,000) in north-eastern Italy's Veneto region.
The city is famous as it is the place where William Shakespeare set his play Romeo and Juliet. Though situated an hour away from the more popular tourist destination, Venice, many people consider Verona a more relaxed, pleasant place to visit. In the year 2000 Verona has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its urban structure and architecture.
The true origin of Verona is some kind of mystery. It was probably founded by an early Italic civilization and then conquered by the Romans. In 89 BC the city became a colonia and in 49 BC it became a municipium. The importance of Verona grew rapidly because of its position at the junction of four of the most important Roman ways of that time.
Verona-Villafranca Airport (IATA: VRN) (ICAO: LIPX), named after Valarie Catullo and thus also referred to as Verona 'Catullo' Airport, is the closest airport to Verona. It is located 12 km southwest of the city.
Verona Porta Nuova station is served by regional, high-speed and international services. Trenitalia train services operate to destinations within Italy, such as Milan (Milano Centrale), Venice (Venezia Mestre and Venezia S. Lucia), Turin (Torino Porta Nuova and Torion Porta Susa), Bologna (Bologna Centrale), Florence (Firenze S. Maria Novella), Rome (Roma Termini), Trieste (Trieste Centrale) and Bolzano (Bozen).
International services by ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), DB (Germany's Deutsche Bahn), SBB-CFF-FFS (Swiss Federal Railways) and Thello (Italy's and France's Trenitalia-SNCF night train) operate at Verona Porta Nuova to Vienna (Wien Miedling and Wien West), Munich (München Hbf and München Ost), Innsbruck (Innsbruck Hbf), Geneva (Geneve/Genf), Dijon and Paris (Paris Gare d'Est).
Luxury tourist train, the Venice-Simplon Oriental Express, operates between Venice and London (London Victoria) via Verona Porta Nuova, Innsbruck and Paris Gare d'Est).
Upon arrival at Verona Porta Nuova station, it is 15 minute walk down a long boulevard to reach the centre of town, the Verona Arena (Arena di Verona). Just leave the train station, walk through the bus station and past a triumphant arch and follow the boulevard Corso Porta Nuova till the end.
Verona was taken over by the Roman Empire in the First Century AD and many Roman-era ruins have been preserved, notably the Arena (which is in the same style as Rome's Colisseum). Most of the historical sights, however, date from the past 800 years. If you are keen on art history, Verona offers a golden opportunity to see the transition of Western European art from late-Medieval to early-Renaissance styles, with its rich offering of 12-Century churches and art museums.
After the Roman Empire came the Republic of Venice from 853 AD until Napoleon Bonaparte conquered the republic. After the Fall of Napoleon in 1815, the Austrian Empire took over the city until 1866.
Verona's military importance under the Austrians has also left city fortifications and an excellent castle. Look out for architectural details related to the Scaligeri (or della Scala) family, who ruled the city from the 12th to 14th Century: their family emblem is a ladder, which appears across many places around Verona (scala is Italian for 'ladder').

Ponte Scaligero
l Ponte Scaligero, chiamato anche Ponte di Castelvecchio, è celebrato dagli storici come l'opera più audace e mirabile del medioevo in Verona. Portato a termine nell'arco di tre anni, quasi sicuramente tra il 1354 e il 1356, fu costruito per ordine di Cangrande Il, che intendeva così assicurare alla sua nascente fortezza sul fiume un'autonoma via di fuga (o d'accoglienza di soccorsi) verso il Tirolo, dove regnava suo genero Ludovico il Bavaro.
