Porta Nuova

Porta Nuova is the name of a neighborhood in Milan, designed primarily for business use, but it's named after an historic monument in the area.
Located to the north of the city center, the Porta Nuova district had long been neglected by the city, until an urban renewal project began in 2009. The new skyline features several brand-new (and very modern) buildings, and the district also includes a big public park.
The name "Porta Nuova" means "new gate," and while the arched gate was built between 1810-1813, that is quite new when compared with the ancient Roman gates that were once the entry points in the city walls.

Practical Info

The Porta Nuova district is north of the historic center, with Stazione Garibaldi just to the west of the neighborhood. The Napoleonic gate is just south of the district on Via Monte Santo.
