Bab Tuma (Arabic: باب توما, meaning: "Thomas’ Gate") is a borough of Old Damascus in Syria, one of the seven gates inside the historical walls of the city, and a geographic landmark of Early Christianity. It owes its name to Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. In the 16th century, following the conquest of Antioch and Alexandretta by Ottoman Turks, the borough of Bab Tuma became the seat of the Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic Churches for the Northern Levant (Syria, Lebanon and Southern Turkey).
