The New Gate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Gate (Arabic: Bab al-Jedid; Hebrew" HaSha'ar HaChadash) is the most recently built gate in Jerusalem's Old City Walls built in 1887 to provide easier access to the Christian Quarter. It is also called the Gate of Hammid after the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The gate is located in the north-western part of the wall and faces north.

During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, when Jordan captured East Jerusalem (which includes the Old City of Jerusalem) it was sealed off. It was reopened again in 1967 after Israel's capture of East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.
