Porta Capuana in Naples.

Porta Capuana is an ancient city gate in Naples, southern Italy.

In spite of the name, the portal is not the ancient gateway to the decumanus maximus, the main east-west road that once led out of Roman Naples to Capua. When the city was extended eastwards in the 15th century as part of the construction of the new Aragonese city walls, the original gate, which had been closer to castle of the same name, Castel Capuano, was rebuilt and relocated in 1484.
