The medieval walls of Pisa
Veduta di Piazza del Duomo da Porta Nuova (G. Bettini, Comune di Pisa) Porta Nuova: built in 1562 at the behest of Cosimo I de’ Medici, following the closure of the Leone Gate, it is the place from which it is possible to enjoy the view of all the monuments of the Piazza del Duomo. Finished in white marble, with a rusticated effect, still stands out today for its elegance. At the beginning of the twentieth century, due to vehicular traffic, the side arches were opened for pedestrian transit. During the First World War, the large arch to the right of the Porta Nuova was opened to allow the passage of the Red Cross train inside the hospital.
