The New Gate, the name comes from the description of the gate because it is the newest of all the eight gates in the walls of Jerusalem. The present wall of Jerusalem was built by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th Century that is about 500 years ago he was the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey of today. The wall surrounds the Old City of Jerusalem and has eight gates to access the city 7 functioning gates and one closed gate. The New Gate that we are going through right now is the newest gate and was opened in the wall in the 19th century in the year 1889 which means after more than 300 years of building the wall
The Notre Dame of Jerusalem is the reason why the New Gate was opened in the wall of Jerusalem , the Notre Dame of Jerusalem was built in the 19th Century in 1889 and it is a property of the Vatican and was built as a guest house for Christian Pilgrims who visited the Holy Land and until today it is still a hotel receiving Christian Pilgrims. The most important destination for the Pilgrims is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre Church, the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The church is located in the Christian Quarter which is the closest to the New Gate!
