Jerusalema vanalinna - Damascus Gate või Sha'ar Shkhem

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_Gate

Damascus Gate is the main entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem.[1] It is located in the wall on the city's northwest side where the highway leads out to Nablus, and from there, in times past, to the capital of Syria, Damascus; as such, its modern English name is Damascus Gate, and its modern Hebrew name, Sha'ar Shkhem (Hebrew: שער שכם‎), meaning Shechem Gate, or Nablus Gate.[1][2] Of its Arabic names, Bab al-Nasr means "gate of victory," and Bab al-Amud (Arabic: باب العامود‎) means "gate of the column."[1]
