Porta Vescovo is a Renaissance-style city gate in Verona, Italy, designed and built by architect Teodoro Trivulzio in 1520 as part of the city's outer medieval fortifications. Named for the bishop who once collected tolls there, the gate features a central arch whose external façade is ornamented with marble in the form of an ancient Roman triumphal arch. During the mid-19th century, barracks, an arsenal, and pedestrian entry points were added to the structure. The gate stands near Verona Porta Vescovo railway station, serving as a terminus for trains to Venice.
