Porta San Felice was the westernmost gate of Bologna's former outer medieval walls in Italy, first erected in the 13th century and rebuilt in 1334 with a machicolated tower and a drawbridge. It was restored in 1508 and again in 1805 during Napoleon's visit to the city, and once had a barracks and a tax collection house standing at its entrance, though the flanking walls were demolished in 1840.
