Damascus gate from inside the old city of Jerusalem in 1970

Wikipedia:
Damascus Gate, also called Nablus Gate and the Gate of the Pillar, is the largest and most impressive of the entrances into the Old City, and the most heavily used entrance into the Muslim Quarter. The gate opens onto Nablus Road, which leads to the city of Nablus (Neopolis to the Romans), and, eventually to Damascus. The gate was constructed upon the remains of ancient gates built since the Second Temple Period.
