Porta Borsari is an ancient Roman gate in Verona, northern Italy.
It dates to the 1st century AD, though it was most likely built over a pre-existing gate from the 1st century BC. An inscription dating from emperor Gallienus' reign reports another reconstruction in 265 AD. The Via Postumia (which here became the decumanus maximus) passed through the gate, which was the city's main entrance and was therefore richly decorated. It also originally had an inner court, now disappeared.
The gate's Roman name was Porta Iovia, as it was located near a small temple dedicated to Jupiter lustralis. In the Middle Ages it was called Porta di San Zeno, while the current name derives from the guard soldiers which were paid the dazio.
The façade, in local white limestone, has two arches flanked by semi-columns with Corinthian capitals which supports entablature and pediment. In the upper part is a two-floor wall with twelve arched windows, some of which are included in small niches with triangular pediment.

Originated from the development of the palaces in which political and administrative life was decided, especially in the Scaliger period, the square is surrounded by monumental buildings connected by arcades and arches, almost to create a kind of internal courtyard. At the center of the square is the monument to Dante (1865), a 3-meter statue in white Carrara marble, erected on the occasion of the celebrations of the sixth centenary of the poet's birth, who found his first refuge at the court of Cangrande after exile from Florence.
Entering the square passing under the Arch of the Coast on the left you can admire the façade of the Domus Nova. Already mentioned in the documents of the mid-twelfth century, it was the seat first of the podestà and the minor councils, then (from the fifteenth century) the home of the Venetian judges. Much of the palace collapsed in 1511, and was not rebuilt until more than a century later.

The Ponte Pietra is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona.
It originally flanked another Roman bridge, the Pons Postumius; both structures provided the city with access to the Roman theatre on the east bank. The arch nearest to the right bank of the Adige was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala. Four arches of the bridge were blown up by retreating German troops in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957 with original materials.
