Descripción del sitio
"Victory Gate", this entrance to the old walled city was originally called Bab Yahud, or Jewish Gate, because of its proximity to the old Jewish quarter. It was rebuilt by, and named by al-Zaher Ghazi in 1212, and Ghazi's gate became the most important northern entrance to the city. Reconstructed again by the Ayyubids, the gate incorporates two 90 degree turns, making the gate practical for military defense, but less practical for modern traffic. During the Ottoman period the double-wall was edited to make way for carriage traffic -- the road the gate is on was a major thoroughfare at the time.
