A document from the Middle Ages shows that this gate already existed at that time. At that time it was called "Porta di San Michele". Named after a holy church nearby. In the 16th century it was demolished and a bulwark of Medici walls was built in its place. For two centuries there was only one gate, the "Porta Vecchia", and in 1755 there was a second one, "Porto Nuova".
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century the population density was so high that a third one was necessary. In 1927 a new 3rd gate was decided. Due to various demands from architects and administrative responsibilities, the gate was ultimately not completed until 1933.

Porta Corsica is a gate in the south-western part of the city walls of Grosseto. Its name derives from the geographical reference point in that direction, beyond the sea, which the gate overlooks. It is located on the stretch of the city walls that connects the Cavallerizza bastion with the Molino a Vento bastion.
