Porta Volta is a former city gate of Milan, Italy, part of the Spanish walls (16th century).

Nowadays, the name "Porta Volta" is most commonly used to refer to the surrounding district ("quartiere"), part of the Zone 8 administrative division of the city.

Porta Volta was built in 1860 to connect the city to the Monumentale cemetery.

[1] An important renewal plan for the Porta Volta district has been submitted in 2010 by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron.

As a part of the plan, Porta Volta will become a cultural centre, with a large library, the new headquarters of the Feltrinelli publishing house, and vast green areas.
