This was one of the four gates to the town, when brick walls used to surround Imola. These walls were ordered during the Manfredi reign.
\nThis gate was commonly nick-named \u201cPusterla\u201d (which means secondary entrance) since it was a gate of minor importance compared to the others that were either facing Bologna or Faenza. It was later called Montanara Gate (which means mountains) since it faces the hills and the far mountainous area.<\/p>\n

The demolition of the 20th century deprived it of its defensive system, but the tower still remains fairly intact.<\/p>\n
