Bab al-Nasr, Medieval city gate in Aleppo, Syria
The gate features strong stone walls with detailed Arabic inscriptions and architectural elements representing Islamic military architecture of northern Syria.
Built during the Ayyubid period between 1169 and 1260, Bab al-Nasr underwent reconstruction under az-Zahir Ghazi in 1212 to strengthen the northern defenses.
The name Bab al-Nasr translates to Gate of Victory in Arabic, representing the power and resilience of Aleppo through multiple civilizations.
Located at coordinates 36.203889°N and 37.160556°E, the gate marks one of the main northern entry points into the ancient walled city.
Following damage during the Syrian conflict, local committees initiated restoration work in 2018 to preserve the gate's historical structure.
