Also known as Porta dei Greci and Bib I-Harrekin, the Greek Gate served as a side entrance to Mdina. In its current state, the gate is the result of various additions and alterations in the 17th and 18th centuries, which led to the construction of a Baroque façade that opens directly onto the moat. The gate includes an original medieval lancet arch door opening onto the town and was once part of a medieval enclosure. The Baroque façade was constructed in 1724 by the order's permanent military engineer, Charles François de Mondion, as part of a major restoration program carried out during the reign of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilaine.

The "Greek Gate" is the smaller of the two main gates of Mdina. It takes its name from a small Greek community that once lived near the gate. This gate was the only entrance to the city that slaves could use.
