The area
Neighborhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

This nice Door built in 1790 on project of Piermarini, it’s on the line of Spanish Walls.
Going back to the time and going towards city center, the oldest Oriental Door was on the Medieval Walls few steps from San Babila’s square

The gates are at Porta Venezia and metro station M1 line . There is a busy intersection around the building and I wouldn't take a risk trying to get to it

It’s a nice walking in Milan. As well, near by, there’s a park very nice. And not so far, the Monumentale Cemetery.

Porto Venezia is the historical gateways to Milan. One of several gateways.
This was easy to get to as we walked up and down the shopping street of Corso Buenos Aires several times.
The neo classical buildings are very photogenic.
The nearby public garden is worth a look as well.

On the other side of Corso Buenos Aires is this important "gate" of Milan. It is composed of 2 neoclassical buildings where the ancient gate of the city used to be. The same street is called Corso Venezia coming from southwest until the gate and Corso Buenos Aires going northeast past the gate. It seemed to me that it virtually divides the two very different neighborhoods north and south of it.

Entrance to the city. The buildings itself are not very attractive. It is nearly impossibel to get closer to it, as there is a very busy traffic around.

The twin neoclassical buildings were built in the early 19th century as custom offices that were used to enter the city from the countryside and enable the process of tax collection. There was a gate almost at the same place even in ancient Roman time as a part of city walls. The whole district is usually called the “African district” (due to its long history of foreign immigration) and is well-known as a center of the city’s night life with numerous restaurants, night clubs and bars.

Home to the famous city gates dating back to the 19th century. Porta Venezia is accessible by the metro, it is at the top end of the famous Buenos Aires shopping centre, there are eateries galore with all types of food and drink available, many with outside seating. A nice photo opportunity of the gates can be had from across the street outside the exit of the Metro station
