Porta Mascarella, Bologna

Porta Mascarella was a gate or portal of the former outer medieval walls of the city of Bologna, Italy.

It stands just before the Ponte Stalingrado (Stalingrad bridge).

The gate once had a drawbridge, but it was ultimately sealed in the 15th century.

The now isolated tower once was a machiocolated rampart in the city walls.
