Porta del Vescovo was constructed around 1520 and enlarged in 1860. It is located in a heavily fortified section of the Veronese walls within a part of the Venetian Curtain of the Maddalene bastion that still remains. The Austrians opened a gateway here to link the military section of Campo Fiore to the station at Porta Vescovo and the Campo Marzo bastion. Built to withstand artillery fire, the walls were completely rebuilt to fend off any siege by troops. To be able to reach it you must pass the cemetery towards Porta della Vittoria Nuova.
