New Gate, Historic gate in Old City, Israel.

The New Gate stands as the newest entrance in the northern section of Jerusalem's Old City walls, constructed of large stone blocks and metal doors.

Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II authorized the creation of this entrance in 1887 to provide direct access between Christian institutions and the developing new city.

The New Gate connects the Christian Quarter with modern Jerusalem, facilitating movement between religious sites and contemporary urban areas.

Visitors can access the gate daily through the main entrance point, which leads directly to both the Christian Quarter and modern Jerusalem neighborhoods.

The New Gate remains the only entrance in Jerusalem's Old City walls that leads straight into the Christian Quarter without passing through other quarters.
