Damascus Gate - Jerusalem

Damascus Gate is one of the most impressive and magnificent gates in the walls of Jerusalem old city. The gate is located in the center of the northern wall, from where the road to Nablus begins, hence its name is also Nablus Gate. The gate has more names: in Arabic it is also called "Bab al-Amoud" (gate of the column), following the column that once stood in the gate's plaza and on which a statue of the Roman emperor Hadrian was placed. From this column the distances to the various cities were measured. The column also appears on the map of Madaba from the end of the Byzantine period. It is important to remember that although emperor Hadrian's reign is considered one of the most prosperous during the reign of the emperors in Rome, he is the one who suppressed the Bar Kochba Revolt in the year 135, in which hundreds of thousands of Jews lost their lives, & his decrees, among other things, prohibited the entry of Jews into Jerusalem. Emperor Hadrian turned Jerusalem into a pagan city called Aelia Capitolina. Damascus gate is located in the center of a river bed which is the main ravine that crosses the city from north to south. The slopes of the valley and the dense houses can be seen beautifully. The ravine deepens and widens in the area of the Western Wall Plaza, near the Temple Mount and exits the city through the Dung’s Gate.
