HEROD'S GATE
8th in the "Gates of Jerusalem" Numismatic Bullion Series

Herod's Gate is one of the gates in the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem built by demand of the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century Ottoman period.
Some believed that the Gate led to Herod's palace, hence the name "Herod's Gate".
The original Arabic name of the gate, Bab-a-Sahairad, refers to the Muslim burial ground opposite. The Hebrew name meaning "Flower Gate" is the translation of a corrupted version of the original Arabic name.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the gate was blocked with stones to prevent entrance and was reopened in 1875 by the Turks. Originally, entrance to the gateway was from the side for defense purposes. When the Turks opened the gateway, they opened it from the north-facing front side in order to provide easy access to the new neighborhoods that were developing northwards.
