    Tips

    Built in 1581, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. The exterior façade is decorated with arabesques, rosettes, cornucopias, lion heads, and other elements. On the sides are two Ionic columns supported by two large column-bearing elephants, and next to the keystone are reliefs depicting two rampant lions. On the door are three coats of arms: on the left, the old coat of arms of the city, depicting Mary Magdalene between two rampant lions; in the center, the then-reigning coat of arms of the House of Austria; and on the right, the coat of arms of the Sotomajor family, to which Osvaldo Sotomajor, the then captain of the city and builder of the Rotorico Gate, belonged. The gate's name derives from the nearby Church of the Redeemer, founded by Count Ruggero, whose remains have been incorporated into the view of the present-day Carmine Church.
