Artist Reply: Thanks so much dear Thomi and YES..Actually in English this gate called - The Damascus Gate (also known as Shechem Gate or Nablus Gate; Bab-al-Amud, 'Gate of Columns') is an important gate in the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. It was built in 1542 by the late Ottoman ruler Suleiman the Magnificent. A happy new year ,2007 to you and yours.
