- The Mughrabi Gate on the southern side of the Western Wall is the southernmost of the open Temple Mount gates. It was named after the adjacent Mughrabi Quarter.
We are near the Western Wall, which is 488 meters long. Along the Western Wall there is the largest number of gates to the Temple Mount compared to all other walls of the Temple Mount. Some of the gates are from the Second Temple period (6th century BC to 1st century), some from the Mamluk period, and some were built in other periods.
The Mughrabi Gate is known by several other names, among them: the Gate of the Westerners because it is close to the neighborhood of the Westerners, used to be call so by its residents, most of whom came from the west relative to the Middle East, that is, from counties in Northwest Africa such as Morocco. Today, this is the only gate of the Temple Mount gates through which non-Muslim visitors can enter the Temple Mount.
The history of the gate is extremely important in the context of the Jewish-Muslim conflict over the Western Wall and the Temple Mount in general. All details are provided in the video.
