Comment on Jaffa Gate – Your gateway to Jerusalem’s Old City by Birte Edwards

You are right. Dung Gate and Zion Gate do give most direct access to the Jewish Quarter. Jaffa Gate and also Damascus Gate both give most direct access to Old City in general. The New Gate is the latest addition to the gates, built around 1880, for easier access between Christian Quarter and new areas being constructed outside the walls.

Two gates lead into the Jewish Quarter. One, just outside the Western Wall plaza, is the Dung Gate. The other is Zion Gate. If you want to bypass most of the tourists, take the path from Yemin Moshe down the hill, across Jaffa Road and up the snake path along the wall to Zion Gate. This was the last gate constructed (in 1540), probably because Mount Zion was inadvertently let outside the city walls. In Arabic it is known as “the Prophet David’s Gate” because it faces Mount Zion where David is supposed to be buried. Like other fortress gates, this was built in an L-shape to prevent armies on horseback from charging through the entrance. Today, you only have to worry about cars charging through.
