The etymology of the name Porta Palatina is disputed; some evidence seems to indicate that in Roman or possibly Lombard times, a palatium, i.e., a manor house, was located nearby, if not identical to the alterations to the gate itself. Documents from the 11th century record the name Porta Doranea or Porta Doranica, after the nearby Dora Riparia River.
