The Soprana Gate from the street of the same name
Soprana gate from the street of the same name.
Probably the most famous portal of the Superba also because it is close to Columbus' house.
It was one of the access points to the city; that part of the city that is now the historic center.
The photo was taken from the street of the same name that goes from the gate to the cathedral of San Lorenzo.
Still very well preserved and I recommend you pass under it to enter the alleys!

The Gate also called Porta di Sant’Andrea (in Ligurian Pòrta de Sant’Andria) was one of the entrance gates to the city of Genoa. Among the main medieval stone architectures of the Ligurian capital, it is located on the top of the Piano di Sant’Andrea, from which it takes its name.
