Zion Gate

The gate leads to Mt Zion where you find the tomb of King David and the room of Last Supper. Also known as the “Gate of King David" and "the Gate of Jews", the current gate was built by the Turkish Sultan Suleiman Iben Salim in 1540. When I first visited Jerusalem (March, 2008), I couldn't see the gate as it was under renovation. You can still see the numerous bullet holes, a result of the Israeli-Arab war in May 1948. Hence, the gate is also referred as the "Wounded Gate".
