I know that it’s just a gateway to a park, but I rather liked this as it’s next to the remains of the city’s amphitheatre and this whole arrangement adds to the impact of what was previously also the Scrovegni Palace grounds following the demolition of the Roman entertainment centre.
The archway was added in the nineteenth century and this is looking into the park and the remains of the old amphitheatre. There’s an old stone visible at the top of the arch, which has come from the earlier fourteenth century gateway that was located here and which was demolished in 1827.
And a view looking into the park.
