According to the coat of arms embedded in the fortification wall around it, the Gate of St. Athanasius dates back to the times of Grand Master Jean de Lastic (1437-1454), although the blazon of the latter’s predecessor, namely Grand Master Antoine Fluvian (1421-1437) had already been placed on the watchtower of St. Athanasius having stood in that same site. Watchtowers similar to the one of St. Athanasius may be seen at the bastions of Agios Georgios (St. George) and Agios Ioannis (St. John).
