Golden Gate (Bab el Rahmeh, Sha'ar Harahamim) Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
One of the oldest gates in Jerusalem at present, and one of the few closed gates in the Old City of Jerusalem. The current gate, probably built in the 520s, was one of Justinian I's construction projects in Jerusalem, built on the ruins of the earlier gate. Another theory holds that the Golden Gate was built in the second half of the 7th century by Byzantine craftsmen employed by the Arab Empire. The Golden Gate is located in the center of the east side of the temple. In biblical times this position was used for ceremonial purposes. According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will enter Jerusalem through this gate. In 1541, the Ottoman Emperor Suleiman the Magnificent closed the Golden Gate to prevent the entry of the Messiah.

The oldest city gate of Jerusalem has been closed. It is said that when it opens again, it will be the time of the Redeemer's return. Looking from far and near can be done, but it seems that you can't go directly, sorry!
