## Commentary

When the city of Naples 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 the castle of the same name, Castel Capuano, was rebuilt by Giuliano da Maiano and relocated in 1484. Then when the walls were razed, the gate remained free-standing. The very beautiful carving on the 1484 facings consists of classically inspired trophies, flying Victories and other triumphal imagery.
