The Porta Nuova, or "New Gate," holds a unique position among the city's historical entrances. As the last gate constructed to provide access to the city center, it remains remarkably well-preserved compared to its older counterparts. This gate, completed in the year 1754, boasts distinctive architectural features that set it apart from the others.
One notable feature of the Porta Nuova is the imposing statue of Saint Matthew, the patron saint of Salerno, which crowns its archway. This statue serves as a symbol of the city's deep religious and historical ties, and it adds a touch of grandeur to the gate's appearance.
The gate itself features a design that reflects the architectural style of its era, with elements that highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the period. The Porta Nuova continues to stand as a remarkable example of 18th-century architecture in Salerno, providing a tangible link to the city's rich heritage and history. It welcomes visitors and residents alike, serving as both an entrance to the city and a historical monument that pays homage to its patron saint.

Delle sei porte salernitane di un tempo (Catena, Elina, Nocerina – di Ronca, Rotese, di mare), Porta Nova è l’unico portale monumentale che ha mantenuto intatto il suo carattere di monumentalità rispetto alle altre che, o furono inglobate nella crescita edilizia urbana che ne ha mortificato l’originaria monumentalità o hanno subito la triste sorte della demolizione.
L’attuale Porta Nova, varco monumentale a sud-est del centro storico di Salerno, permette di accedere alla piazza Flavia Gioia (la Rotonda) ed è il frutto di una ricostruzione e di un riposizionamento avvenuti alla metà del ‘700.
La sovrasta una statua di San Matteo sotto la quale viene epigrafato: “POSUERUNT ME CUSTODEM”. La statua fu poi rinnovata nel 1754 come riportato “ANNO MDCCLIV".
