The Gate to the Sea was reconstructed in 1955 in memory of the original, which was demolished in 1893 along with its spans of wall and guardhouse. It extended all the way to the sea, where travelers disembarked and overseas merchandise was collected. The walled enclosure had three other gates that connected what was then the Villa de San Francisco de Campeche with different regions of the peninsula through which the goods sustaining the port’s activity were transported.
