It was one of the four access gates to the city, when Imola was surrounded by the walls built by the Manfredi lordship. Formerly called 'Pusterla' as it was a secondary gate to the accesses to Bologna and Faenza, it later took the name of Montanara, because it faced the hilly area. The demolitions of the 1900s deprived it of the defensive system that strengthened it, but it is still relatively intact in its square plan crowned on three sides by Ghibelline battlements.

Porta Montanara was one of the four entrance gates to the city of Imola when it was still surrounded by walls, built by the Manfredi rulers. Originally known as ‘Pusterla’, meaning secondary entrance, it was later given the name Montanara because it faced the hilly region. Although the fortifications were largely demolished in the 20th century, the gate is still recognizable by its square shape and the Ghibelline battlements on three sides.
