Florence - Porta San Frediano / Porta Pisana

From the Arno a section of the old city wall leads to the Porta San Frediano. This gate is also known as Porta Pisana because it was from here that the road to Pisa left the city. This massive structure was built between 1332 and 1334, probably to designs by Andrea Pisano. The formidable doors are 13.2m/43.3ft high and 25cm/10 inches thick.
