Damascus Gate, also known as Shechem Gate or Nablus Gate, is located on the northern side of the old city of Jerusalem, on the edge of the Arab market. Originally built during the Second Temple period, the existing gates were built in 1542 by Suleiman the Great of the Ottoman Empire.

    The entrance to Jerusalem's Old City, known as the Damascus Gate, dates back to the second century, Roman times. The gates were three times as large as the Arc de Triomphe and did not even build walls. Later, when it was built, it became a guard room. Impressively, the remains of the Roman gates still exist, including the arched caves engraved with the laws of the colonial rulers. The Damascus Gate, also known as the Gate of Shechem or Nablus, is a gate on the north side of Jerusalem's Old City. The gate was built in 1542 by Suleiman the Great of the Ottoman Empire and has two towers. The original gate was built during the Second Temple period, and during the Hadrian period in the 2nd century, the Romans built a new gate. A Roman Victory Pillar stands in front of the gate, from which the Arabic name of Damascus Gate is derived. During the British custody period, the Roman Gate was excavated, but no Victory Pillar was found. During the Crusades, this was the north gate of the city.

    I was shocked when I saw it in the car. I ran over when I got off the car. It was so beautiful. There were many big steps at the door to rest. There were many policemen at the door. The police were very kind, but no matter how many doors, it was a small commodity market.

    Our hotel passes through Damascus many times a day. Outside it is a busy Arab market with snacks, clothes and so on. We are not afraid of the silence of the Sabbath. There are two stations near by foot. The bigger one can have a car to Bethlehem, Palestine, etc. The 231 flights are denser.
