*Damascus Gate: Sultan Suleiman St. (facing the road to Damascus) the largest and most impressive gate - Sha'-ar Shechem in Hebrew and Bab el-Amud in Arabic (after a pillar with Hadrian's statue on top, which once stood inside it). Built in 1538. The first gate here was probably built by Herod. About 150 years later came Hadrian's construction, which is below today's gate it marked the northern entrance to his Aelia Capitolina, and part of it can be seen below the present gate. There is a museum in the Roman Square, at the beginning of the Cardo, showing the history of the gate. A Roman hall and staircase lead to the top of the gate and the ramparts. Entrance fee to the museum and to the ramparts which are open from 9 a.m. to. 5 p.m. daily. Down the steps, Damascus Gate Road forks into El-Wad Road (left, leading to the Via Dolorosa and Temple Mount) and Suq Khan Ez-Zeit (right, to the Holy Sepulchre and the heart of the market).

*Dome of the Ascension: a small 13th-century structure to the left as you approach the Western Gate of the Dome of the Rock, it serves to remind of Mohammed's ascension to heaven. Visually, it's a remarkable replica of the Byzantine monument commemorating Jesus' ascension on the Mount of Olives.

*Dome of the Chain: an interesting 8th-century structure located near the Paradise Gate of the Dome of the Rock or behind it if you're facing the Western Gate. Arabs once used the dome to store treasure, and the Crusaders insisted on turning the place into a church. A remarkable feature is that every one of the seventeen columns may be seen at once when viewed from any angle.

*Dome of the Rock: erroneously also known as the ``Mosque of Omar'' (which once stood nearby and was completely destroyed), the Dome is built around the Sacred Rock upon which Abraham was about to sacrifice his son and from which Mohammed ascended on his horse Buraq to Paradise. Both the First and Second Temples stood here. The splendour of the mosque is dazzling and after the gingerbread-cluttered churches the relatively stark simplicity of the intricate mosaics under the golden dome cannot but create a strong impression. Built in 691 by Abd el-Malik as a counter-attraction to Mecca, the octagonal structure has four entrances: the Western Gate (the entrance), Paradise Gate, Judgement Gate and Mecca Gate. The ceiling is inlaid with gold, red and black chips verses from the Koran are inscribed on the golden frieze at the base decorations picture fruits or are abstract - no human or animal likenesses the columns were taken from Byzantine churches - no two are alike and some are marked with crosses. The windows were added in Saladin's time. It is said that David, Solomon, Jesus and Abraham were in the habit of praying at the Well of Souls downstairs and that the dead gather here twice a week to pray. Tradition and several maps have it that this is the very centre of the earth. Converted to a church during the Crusades. Open: Sun.-Thurs. 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Museum open Sun.-Thurs. 8 a.m.-12 p.m., 12.30-3 p.m. Closed Fridays and Moslem holidays. Entrance fee (includes El-Aksa Mosque and the Islamic Museum).

Dominus Flevit (The Lord Wept): About halfway up the Mt. of Olives, on one of the spots where Jesus is said to have stopped to weep over Jerusalem. Planned in the shape of a tear drop by the same Barluzzi who designed the Basilica of the Agony, this Franciscan church includes relics from a Byzantine structure that once stood here in honour of the prophetess Anne (mentioned by the physician Luke). An interesting find on this site was a 3,000-year-old Jebusite tomb.

*Dung Gate: closest to Western Wall. Overlooking the Ophel. Since 2nd century CE the city's refuse has been carted through this gate to be dumped outside - hence its name.
