Audio Guide Porta Nuova
Audio guide Porta Nuova in English
In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Porta Nuova telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.
What you'll hear inside Porta Nuova:
- 1Exterior Facade with Atlantes
The exterior façade of Porta Nuova stands as the most striking face of the complex, dominated by four imposing atlantes—sculptural male figures—that appear to support the structure's weight.
- 2Maiolica-clad Pyramidal Roof
The pyramidal majolica roof is Porta Nuova's most distinctive feature, a steep pyramid clad in colourful tiles that has crowned the structure and defined its silhouette since 1669.
- 3Interior Façade with Allegories
The inner façade of Porta Nuova is notably more restrained than its exterior counterpart.
- 4Elevated Corridor Strada Coperta
The Strada Coperta is an elevated covered corridor situated south of Porta Nuova, providing direct access to the Palazzo dei Normanni (the Royal Palace).
