gate, listed building / architectural heritage
One of the gates in Jerusalem's Old City walls. Also known as the Flowers Gate due to the carvings on it.
It adjoins the Muslim Quarter, and is a short distance to the east of the Damascus Gate. In proximity to the gate is an Arab neighborhood called Bab-a-Sahairad, the same as the Arabic name for the gate.
This modest gate is one of the newest gates of Jerusalem. At the time when Suleiman the Magnificent built the wall, a small wicket gate was situated in front of the current gate, which was rarely opened.
