Gate of the Inspector, Ancient gate in Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
The Gate of the Inspector stands as a 4.5-meter-tall entrance in the western wall of the al-Aqsa compound, featuring pointed stone architecture and wooden supports.
Originally constructed at the location of the Gate of al-Walid, this entrance underwent reconstruction in 1203 during the Ayyubid period and received extensions under Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad.
The gate bears multiple names including Bab al-Majlis and Bab al-Nazir, reflecting its connection to both the Supreme Muslim Council and the Inspector of Noble Sanctuaries.
Located between the al-Manjakiyya Madrasa and al-Wafa'iyya Zawiya, the gate connects the Temple Mount area with the Western Wall through Aladdin Street.
Two public water fountains, known as sebils, mark the entrances of the educational institutions flanking the gate, including the Ibrahim al-Rumi and Mustafa Agha fountains.
