Porto di Mare (Milan Metro)
Milan Metro station
Porto di Mare (literally Sea Port) is a station on Line 3 of the Milan Metro in Milan, Italy. The station was opened on 12 May 1991 as part of the extension of the line from Porta Romana to San Donato. It takes the name from a never-realized project of a fluvial port to reach the Po River and consequentially the Adriatic Sea.
The station is located at the historic starting point of the Motorway of the Sun, which is in the municipality of Milan. This is an underground station with two tracks in a single tunnel.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Porto di Mare (Milan Metro)” as milan Metro station. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as milan Metro station. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q927253. Authority coordinates are 45.437, 9.231. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
