Spanish Gate (Porta Spagnola) — a compact 16th‑century fortified gateway on Augusta’s waterfront. Photograph the sculpted stone arch, rusticated bastions and moody sea reflections; best at golden hour or blue hour when warm light grazes the masonry. Easily reached by car; limited roadside parking nearby. No entry fee; parts visible from the quay. Weekday mornings are quiet. Coastal winds can affect tripods.
