13"x19" signed print: archival pigmented inks on matte watercolor paper The Jaffa Gate, on the West Wall of the city, is one of the main pedestrian entrances to the city. It was the western gate of Aelia Capitolina. The road to Jaffa led to this gate. Arabs call it the Bab al-Khalil (Gate of the Friend), referring to Abraham, the Friend of God (Is. 41:8), or the Hebron Gate, referring to the Cenotaph of Abraham in Hebron. Suleiman II completed the gate in 1538.
