Porta San Calogero - Sciacca

The gate, built in the 16th century , is one of three remaining gates and provided access to the upper part of the city.

She demarcated the Cadda district, a district inhabited largely by Jews .

Originally there were five gates , but the San Calogero gate is the only one left, integrated into the old city walls that were built by Viceroy De Vega with the idea of fortifying the city by equipping it with bastions armed with long-range cannons , some of which can still be seen today, such as the S. Agata bastion, the S. Salvatore bastion and the Vega bastio.
