Lions' Gate

The Lions' Gate (Hebrew: שער האריות‎‎ Sha'ar ha-Arayot, Arabic: باب الأسباط‎‎, also St. Stephen's Gate or Sheep Gate) is located in the Old City Walls of Jerusalem, and is one of seven open Gates in Jerusalem's Old City Walls. During the Crusader period, the gate was known as Josophat's Gate. Israeli paratroops from the 55th Paratroop Brigade came through this gate during the Six-Day War of 1967 and unfurled the Israeli flag above the Temple Mount. The Lions' Gate is not to be confused with the Zion Gate in the Old City Wall, located in the south, leading to the Jewish and Armenian Quarters.
