Description: Genova, ITALY - Cow Gate / Porto del Vacca - 1908: The walls of Genoa (mura di Genova in Italian, miage de Zena in Ligurian) constitute in their whole the several circles of walls that protected and defended the city of Genoa, former capital of the homonymous Republic. To this day, large portions of these walls remain, and Genoa has more and longer walls than any other city in Italy. The three main gates had a monumental look, with high semicircular towers. Two of them survive to this day: “Porta Soprana” and “Porta dei Vacca”; the third one, Porta Aurea ("Golden Gate"), already partially demolished in the 18th century, was completely demolished in the second half of the 20th century. In the 13th century, the Old Pier peninsula, at the southern limit of the port, was also included inside the walls, thus completing the fortifications on the sea side of the city. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. Dr. Trenkler Co. Lipsia. 1908 Gen. 111.
