We are at Herod’s gate named by the Israelis as well as in Arabic - the flowers gate. The gate is located in the northern wall of the old city, at the intersection of Sultan Suleiman and Salah Al-Din streets.
From a topographical point of view, the gate is built near the brook of Beit Zita. The gate serves as one of the entrances to the Muslim quarter. On one hand it provides access to the Temple Mount located within the walls of Jerusalem, and on the other hand it provides access to the neighborhoods outside the wall.
The gate was built during the Ottoman rule, in 1539 by Suleiman the Magnificent.
An important historical event near Herod’s Gate, is the breaking of the wall by the Crusaders under the leadership of Godfrey of Bouillon. This led to the conquest of the city and to the Crusader control of Jerusalem in 1099.
