Porta Castiglione is a former medieval gate and tower from the outer circuit of the city walls of Bologna, Italy, first erected in the second half of the thirteenth century and rebuilt in the fifteenth century. It originally formed part of a machicolated defensive rampart integrated into the city fortifications and stood beside the Savena Canal, which powered local cloth-manufacturing works, but it now survives as an isolated tower rather than a connected gate.
