Gates of the Temple Mount
The Temple Mount, located in Jerusalem, can be accessed through eleven gates, and contains a further six sealed gates.
The following is an anti-clockwise list of gates which open onto the Temple Mount. Currently eleven gates are open to the Muslim public. Non-Muslims are only permitted to enter through the Mughrabi gate.
The Gate of the Tribes, (Arabic: Bab al-Asbat,Hebrew: שער השבטים , is located at the north-eastern corner of the Temple Mount.
The Gate of Remission, (Arabic: Bab al-Huttah), is located on the north side.
The Gate of Darkness, (Arabic: Bab al-Atim), is located on the north side.
The Gate of Bani Ghanim, (Arabic: Bab al-Ghawanima), is located on the north-western corner.
A twelfth gate still open during Ottoman rule is now closed to the public: Bab as-Sarai (Gate of the Seraglio, or of the Palace); a small gate to the former residence of the Pasha of Jerusalem; in the northern part of the western wall, between the Bani Ghanim and Council gates.
The Council Gate, (Arabic: Bab al-Majlis), also known as the Inspector's Gate (Arabic: Bab an-Nazir or Nadhir), is located on the northern side of the western Temple Mount wall.
The Iron Gate, (Arabic: Bab al-Hadid, Hebrew: Shaar Barzel) is located on the western side, near the Little Western Wall.
The Cotton Merchants' Gate, (Arabic: Bab al-QattaninHebrew: שער מוכרי הכותנה), is one of the most beautiful gates that leads onto the Temple Mount. It was built by the ruler of Damascus, Tankiz, during the reign of Mamluk Sultan ibn Qalwun, as marked by an inscription over the door. Since this site is the closest a person can get to the Foundation Stone without setting foot on the mount itself, the gate was a popular place of prayer for Jews during the 19th century.
