Medieval / Middle Ages, city gate
Also known as Porta Zamboni, the door, which "closes" the University area of the city, was built in the thirteenth century in defense of the road to the valleys of Argenta and flanked by Ferrara and accommodation for the guard who was guarding.
In 1354 it was equipped with a drawbridge. For security reasons it was closed and walled in 1428, but was then restored and reopened in the following decades.
