Porta Nova

Business card (vCard)

La Porta Nova è una delle porte che consentivano l’accesso al Borgo medievale di Colle Val d'Elsa. Fu costruita in pietra e cotto in sostituzione della Porta Selva, distrutta durante l’assedio alla città del 1479. Affiancata da due potenti bastioni e dotata di un fossato nella parte anteriore rappresenta un superbo esempio di architettura militare rinascimentale. Il progetto originario viene attribuito a Giuliano da Sangallo.
