I found this also, regarding using massive stones to create amazing structures
Might be from same source,  it talks of your Saracena Gate plus others


Hidden Italy: The Forbidden Cyclopean Ruins (Of Giants From Atlantis?)


Quote:Was the ancient land of Italy once inhabited by giants? Miles of prehistoric polygonal stone walls still survive scattered across Italy―ancient ruins so stunningly unique, bizarre, and futuristic that scholars, historians, and philosophers once believed they were built by a now-extinct race of giant human beings called the “Cyclopes.”

 Very little is known about these prehistoric builders and their strange megalithic masterpieces. Their building technique resembles that of the Incas/pre-Incas of Peru: enormous stones cut into interlocking angles, placed without mortar.

As in Peru, the stones have withstood centuries of abandonment and quarrying by later civilizations like the Etruscans and Romans. Sadly, modern scholars ignore these ruins while the wider world is oblivious to their existence. We’ll see why some Victorians believed they were built by survivors from Atlantis.


So that is where Cyclopes came from
Very interesting indeed

Here are some other images to go with your gate

This one is tall enough for a giant

Amazing how they were able to fit those stones together as they did.
Does make one curious as to 'how' it was done

Sure we can speculate and theorize as to how
But we will never for sure

Giants sounds pretty good to me!
