Welcome back to Sicily!
Another great model created by MiniWorld 3D collaborator Manfredi Laguardia from @3dlayerup.
Porta Nuova ("New Gate/Door" in Italian), adjacent to the Palazzo dei Normanni, was for centuries the most important access to the city of Palermo by land. It marks the beginning of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, or Cassaro, the main artery of the city, and from outside, the Corso Calatafimi, the road to Monreale, the next city over.
The opening of the primitive passage takes place in 1460 called Porta dell'Aquila. The Porta Nuova, perfected on several levels, was commissioned in 1583 by the viceroy Marcantonio Colonna to celebrate the victory over the Turkish armies and commemorate the triumphs of the sovereign.
The building suffered almost total destruction in 1667 due to an explosion, but was entirely rebuilt in the following two years.
MiniWorld 3D is excited to bring this historical model to life as a homage to all the people of Sicily. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture and education!
