Naples - Porta Nolana

The Porta Nolana
The Porta Nolana is located about 100 yards north of the Circumvesuvia train station on the Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi. I believe this gate to be part of the Aragonese walls that surrounded Naples in the 15th century. Unlike the Porta Capuana, which has been cleaned up and restored, the Porta Nolanna is incorporated into occupied residential buildings in various states of decay. It’s actually quite fantastic.
