The bronze sculptures Castor and Pollux, decorate the gate.

Castor and Pollux, mythical twins from ancient times. Castor and Pollux shared a deep brotherly love, which was shaken by the murder of Castor. The grieving brother was given the choice by Zeus to live a divine life for all eternity or alternately spend a day with his brother in hell and a day on Olympus. Pollux chose the proximity of his twin brother, Castor and Pollux are known since then as inseparable brothers.
