    The Spanish Gate in Augusta is a demonstration of the Spanish dominance over Sicily which lasted three hundred years, from the 15th to the 18th century.

    History of the Spanish Door

    The Spanish Gate was built with the contribution of all the citizens of Augusta in 1681 at the behest of the viceroy Benavides, who entrusted the task to the engineer Carlos de Grunembergh.

    The Spanish Gate in Augusta was the main entrance to the city which was accessed via drawbridges and was used to close the Aragonese city walls.
