Jaffa Gate

Jaffa Gate is a historic entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem, dating back to the 16th century when it was built by the Ottoman Empire. It faces west toward the port city of Jaffa (now part of Tel Aviv) and serves as a symbolic and functional gateway to the ancient streets and significant religious sites within Jerusalem. The gate features a large archway, fortified walls, and a tower, reflecting its historical importance for defense and trade. Today, Jaffa Gate remains a bustling point of entry, connecting visitors to the city's rich history, religious landmarks, and vibrant neighborhoods.
