    The Saint Nicholas Gate (Porta San Nicolo) is one of the four gates on the fortification walls of the town, which were built during the period of the Venetian rule (1576-1588). It afforded, as did the Gate of Spilia, access between the town and the sea. It owes its name to the Church of St. Nicholas, which survives to this day in its reconstructed form in the small harbor.

    The gate was built into the ground floor of the town's Military Hospital (Ospitale delle Milizie), a two-winged three-storey building The largest part of the building was demol-ished in the early 19th century for the con-struction of the Palace of St. Michael and St. George.

    It is a vaulted passage, about 10 m, long, with an arched opening on each side and two vaulted spaces to the right and to the left (outposts or warehouses). Surviving on the key of the arch is the emblem of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, the winged Lion of St. Mark.
