The Porta Santi Quaranta is the best preserved medieval city gate. You should not miss this white imposing gate.

Porta Santi Quaranta is one of three gates in the 16th-century walls of Treviso. Considered a "younger sister" to the contemporary Porta San Tomaso, it is located at the end of Borgo Cavour and thus provided access from the west (Castelfranco, Padua, Feltre). Its Istrian stone façade features three arches, the central one being the largest. On the exterior, the most prominent depiction is a winged lion, a symbol of Venice's power on the mainland.

It takes its name from the nearby church dedicated to the forty martyrs of Sebaste, now Sant'Agnese. It was built in 1516, perhaps to a design by Alessandro Leopardi, by the Venetian podestà Vendramin, who named it "Porta Vendramina" and placed a self-celebratory plaque on it. This did not please the Venetian government, which changed the name and had the inscription removed.

This did not please the Council of Ten, which changed the name and had the inscription removed (the southern arch still bears the marks of chiselling).
