Bulwark Sabbionara (of the sand) is better well known today by its Turkish name, Kum- Kapi ( Kum Kapisi = Door of the Sand). It is situated on the north-east corner of the Venician Walls and is literally built in the sea. On the front part, the visitor can still see a round emblem with the lion of St. Mark and a coat of arms. The gate is the only surviving one today, though considerably altered in the years of the Turkish occupation.
