This is the easternmost gate in all of Damascus and was known as the Gate of the Sun and during the Roman times was offlimits to people riding any animal. The thing that stands out most are the three ditinct arches and the Bab Charki was the point at which Sultan Nurredine gained access to the city.(http://frederickhighland.com/damascus/articles/eightgates.htm)
