Porta Villalta

The Porta Villalta stood in the fifth wall circle of the city of Udine. It was built in 1335 and initially entrusted to custodians. In the mid-fifteenth century, the defenses of the city were expanded and the tower was also built, eighteen meters high. The keepers watched the tower through the ancient door. Originally, the structure consisted of a stone bridge destroyed following a flood of the Torre River.
