*Jaffa Gate: so named because it marked beginning of highway to Jaffa. Inscription says it was built by Sultan Suleiman 1538-39. General Allenby entered this gate after defeating Turks in 1917. Restored with funds from South African Jewry after Six Day War (it was closed during 1948-67). Today it's the most used thoroughfare into the Old City. It has always been a strategic spot, provoking on occasion pomp and extravagant behaviour. The moat between it and the Citadel was filled up to allow Kaiser Wilhelm II's vehicles to roll in during his celebrated visit at the end of the last century. The road down from here leads to Bethlehem and Hebron.

*Jewish Quarter: southeast area of the Old City, bounded by Chain Street to the north, Rehov Ararat to the west, Rehov Batei Mahaseh (which follows the ramparts) to the south, and the Western Wall to the east. Devestated by the Jordanian Arab Legion during 1948-67, synagogues, yeshivas and homes have been built or rebuilt or restored, and archaeological excavations have yielded valuable finds. Several new museums and sites were opened in 1983. During the Maccabean or Hasmonaean dynasty, luxurious palaces made this area an architectural showpiece until 70 CE, when Titus overran Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple and this part of the city. After the 5th century and the advent of the Empress Eudoxia, resettlement was permitted and it probably took place in the vicinity of the Wall. Then came the Crusaders (1099) and it wasn't until Saladin's conquest in 1187 that either Jew or Moslem could safely return to the city. The Jewish Quarter today is larger than the Armenian Quarter but smaller than either the Christian Quarter or the Moslem Quarter.
