Porta Uzeda is a baroque city gate at the southern end of Piazza del Duomo, built in 1696 to honour the Spanish Viceroy Juan Francisco Pacheco, Duke of Uzeda. It provides a picturesque passageway from the cathedral square to the harbour and waterfront promenade.
The gate was one of the first structures built during the post-1693 reconstruction, serving both as a defensive checkpoint and a ceremonial entrance to the harbour district. Its austere design contrasts with the exuberant baroque of the surrounding piazza.
