★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are lot of shops here. The market stays open until 7:30pm. But the products are expensive. Therefore check the prices on every store before buying them. Also in restaurants they charge for the table in addition to the tips for the waiters/waitress. Therefore always check the price of the table before getting in. It can vary from 2€ to 10€ per person

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well....difficult to rate a....roman gate!
However, it's a very interesting monument, very well restored, which today constitue one of the landmark of the beautiful city of Verona.
It was the main access to the city at roman's time, being the entrance of the Postumia road into the main decumano.
The current name derive from "borsa", meaning "bag", for it was here that during the middle age duties for the incoming goods were collected.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of a few ancient and beautiful Gates to the City that allowed travelers into the City Centers in historical times. Now it stands as an incredible beautiful testament to the architecture and building standards dating back to 0AD!! Yes, for 2022 years this Porta has been standing as a defining portal to Verona’s city centre. Just imagine that as you are touching its walls. Imagine how many humans have passed beneath its elegant stature, how many ways it has seen, how many dramatic changes in human culture it has endured. This is just one of my reasons that I love so much to be living in Verona. It puts perspective on how we are fortunate, passing beings transiting along the infinite strings within time and history. Isn’t it wonderful?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When you are there, if the crowd is not too many, close your eyes and imagine during the ancient Roman times, where soldiers guarded, patrolled and collected tribute at the city's gates. (It is especially challenging for immersive travellers on a weekend, with tour guides swishing the flags of sorts and talking loudly to grab attention of their flocks and the particular flocks I meant are noisy seagulls AKA tourists yapping loudly with clickey cameras) Indeed, a regal principal entry point into the metropolis. Look for the inscription "245" and the ancient Roman name of the city are preserved: Colonia Verona Augusta, it is at the lower tier. After the gate, take a stroll along narrow streets lined with multitudinous fashionable boutiques, cafes, shops, delis, B and Bs.
