Port of Borsari – ancient gate in Verona, built in the 1st century BC as a military Outpost in the South of the city. Now considered a monument of the Roman era and tourist attraction. Unfortunately, we have reached only the facade of the building, which, according to historians, served as military barracks.

Once through the Port of Borsari passed Postumia road, built in 148 BC and had a length of about 450 km In Verona she turned to the Decumanus Maximus – the Roman Empire was called the main street of the city, oriented from East to West. In the Roman forum is now the Piazza Dell Erbe – Decumanus Maximus overlap with the Cardo Maximus, the street, oriented from North to South. And the gate was the main entrance to the city and because of this, were richly decorated. Once adjoined to them even patio, destroyed later, there are only the remains of its Foundation adjacent to the gate Piazza Serenelli-Benciolini.

During the Roman gate called Port Ioviy because they were located next to a small temple of the God Jupiter. In the Middle ages they were called Porta di San Zeno in honor of the patron Saint of Verona St. Zeno. And the current name of the gate comes from the word "bursary", which translated from Latin means "tax, duty, soldiers who served here, charge a fee.

Today the white stone of the Port of Borsari represent a three-tiered structure: on the first floor are two arched doorways that used to be the entrance gate, and the other two tiers consist of six openings framed by half-columns with Corinthian capitals. Also on the bottom floor you can see an inscription 245, Colonia Verona Augusta".
