The gate is made up of large blocks of limestone that used to be part of the city walls that stretched from Cappuccini Hill to the Church of Santa Maria della Piazza.
In front of the gate stood the ancient Church of Sant’Agnese, which was turned in 1739 into the private residence of the Languidara family of Sicilian origins, who introduced the art of silk weaving.
