History
Built in 1612 to a design by the architect Giovanni Batista Aleotti, Porta Paola today constitutes the largest monumental gateway in the city, further enhanced by its imminent new intended use: Documentation Center of the Walls.
In July 1798 the French changed the name of the gate to Porta Reno, since the river of the same name flowed about twelve kilometers away, while the structure continued to fulfill military functions, as well as customs duties.
