Bab Sharqi



Postern of Fate: Eastern Gate in Old Damascus

Bab Sharqi, historically known as the Gate of the Sun, is the eastern gateway of the Old City of Damascus and the only remaining Roman gate in Syria to retain its original three-arched design. As the eastern terminus of the city's ancient colonnaded street, it formed a principal entrance to Damascus and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks of the walled city. - AsNotedIn
