Paliano. Neapolitan Gate (Porta Napoletana)

Neapolitan Gate (Porta Napoletana) is located along the south side of Paliano overlooking Naples and this building had a brick core with a drawbridge.

The gate dates back to the Middle Ages and was rebuilt in the seventeenth century by Carlo Brancacci and in 1704 by the Governor Antonio Ossuary, as referred by a plaque on the right arch of the door.

In 1787, the last renovation was made by Philip III with the addition of a cover that gave it its present appearance.
