Porta Galliera, also known as the Porta S. Felice is a main entrance of the historical city walls that enclose the city of Bologna, Italy. Built in the 15th Century and originally known as “Porta S. Felice”, it was later renamed “Porta Galliera” after a major battle in 1796 during the wars led by Napoléon against the Italian Republic and the Holy Roman Empire.
Porta Galliera is an iconic landmark in Bologna's history. Sculpted with an arch, flanked by two towers, the entrance is designed with a baroque style symbolizing the beauty of the city and its long history. There are statues of the Virgin Mary and fragments of the remains of San Petronio, Bologna's patron saint. The balcony on the right-hand side of the arch offers a view of northern Bologna and the hills beyond. The walls are surrounded by gardens and trees, making it a picturesque spot for photos.
