The gate, built in 1548 in honor of Charles V, who had fortifications built to defend the city, stands on the site of the old Porta San Giusto. It was desired by the citizens and by Ferrante Loffredo, dean of the province of Terra d'Otranto, to symbolically celebrate the power and empire of Charles V of Habsburg. It was so called because it was the gate from which the consular road to Naples led.
