You can not help but be amazed at such an ancient building structure and in fact it still stands as part of the city today. There was a cafe right next to it where we decided to drink coffee while admiring the Borsari gate. It is definitely worth a visit to see how it has stood the test of time for itself. Here's the side of the sign that has a few messages to give you its history and the whole structure. This is a seemingly part of it. This is the true history of Rome where you can touch and all the time is still more beautiful and sturdy finctional and hundreds of people are used daily. The outside is more like a pretty sanctuary than the inside if you're like the way we did it for the first time from the inside and incredibly believe it can stand as part of this beautiful city. After going from two directions, a large tourist spot is small but be sure to check out. The entrance to the oldest city! Beautiful landmark still stands in this time it has its own rights. It's easy to find, looks great and makes some nice photos. Verona's place is full of history. One of the places it will be Brown - century before you were born porta dei Borsari. What we have noticed regrettably is that many people just pass by and do not even notice this gorgeous door dating back to AD. It was once the city's main entrance in the first century, and at that time there was once again an inner hospital. This is why it reaches the decoration. You can stop for a minute or so, if you are, close your eyes and imagine what it's like to be back in the first century ... in the first few days, there are beautiful evening lights and...

When you are there, if the crowd is not too many, close your eyes and imagine during the ancient Roman times, where soldiers guarded, patrolled and collected tribute at the city's gates. (It is especially challenging for immersive travellers on a weekend, with tour guides swishing the flags of sorts and talking loudly to grab attention of their flocks and the particular flocks I meant are noisy seagulls AKA tourists yapping loudly with clickey cameras) Indeed, a regal principal entry point into the metropolis. Look for the inscription "245" and the ancient Roman name of the city are preserved: Colonia Verona Augusta, it is at the lower tier. After the gate, take a stroll along narrow streets lined with multitudinous fashionable boutiques, cafes, shops,...

This is one of a few ancient and beautiful Gates to the City that allowed travelers into the City Centers in historical times. Now it stands as an incredible beautiful testament to the architecture and building standards dating back to 0AD!! Yes, for 2022 years this Porta has been standing as a defining portal to Verona’s city centre. Just imagine that as you are touching its walls. Imagine how many humans have passed beneath its elegant stature, how many ways it has seen, how many dramatic changes in human culture it has endured. This is just one of my reasons that I love so much to be living in Verona. It puts perspective on how we are fortunate, passing beings transiting along the infinite strings within time and history. Isn’t...

Porta Borsari, Verona, Italy. Am parcurs acest oraș căutând să-i descopăr "comorile" și să încerc sa-i aflu măcar o parte din tainele ce încă mai pot fi înțelese si a căror istorie pare a se întinde pe mii de ani . Nu puteam să nu văd fiecare poartă a acestui vechi oraș si să incerc să le aflu menirea în tot acest întortocheat complex fortificat în mare parte astăzi "înghițit" de noul oraș Așadar și acest reper istoric isi mai poate dezvalui încă tainele ce se pierd tot mai mult în negura timpului. Ca și celelalte porți și acesta este o dovadă de inginerie militară concepută asemeni unui filtru de acces modern pe unde se tranzita mărfurile în ambele sensuri dar, unde se făcea și un control atent al oamenilor ce tranzitau locul . Numele porții ar fi putut fi dat de "Bursarii ", vameși ce percepeau taxele de tranzit acum aproape 2000 de ani . În perioada vizitei mele in 2022 încă se lucra la baza fundației și nu am putut vedea toate detaliile frontoanelor și m-am rezumat doar la contemplarea singurei relicve ce încă mai stă în picioare și care făcea parte dintr-un amplu ansamblu socio- militar al acestui oraș . Te vei afla poate în față ei si dacă vei putea face un efort să te detașezi de tot ce te asaltează din exterior, pentru un timp ai putea chiar să-ți închipui ce se întâmplă aici si ce importanță prezenta acest loc pentru vechiul oraș Verona.
