Porta Nolana is a city gate in Naples, Italy, standing in Piazza Nolana near the Napoli Porta Nolana railway station and a seafood market. Erected in the 15th century by Spanish authorities to a design by Giuliano da Maiano, it replaced an earlier gate of the Forcella district and takes its name from the road to Nola. Its flanking towers of Piperno stone, the Torre della Fede and the Torre della Speranza, survive, and its outer facade bears a relief of Ferrante I on horseback.
