Verona Gate was built in 1553 and represents, and still represents, the main entrance to the historic center of Peschiera del Garda. Originally, the Lion of San Marco was placed above it, which was destroyed by Napoleon in a sign of contempt following the Treaty of Campoformio (1797) and restored only in 2019. On the frieze of the gate, the inscription "Disce haec moneat praecelsa leonis imago ne stimules veneti cev leo in hoste vigent" is still present (which translated means: "this exalted image of the lion may dissuade you from provoking the Venetians, since they have the vigor of the lion against the enemy").
