Jaffská brána a jeruzalémské hradby

Jaffská brána (hebrejsky שער יפו‎, ša'ar Jafo, arabsky باب الخليل‎, báb el-Chalíl) je jednou z bran hradeb Starého Města v Jeruzalémě. Průchod branou je zahnutý v pravém úhlu. Šlo patrně o obranný mechanismus, který mohl zpomalit postupující útočníky a bránil jim použít dlouhé beranidlo. Brána je natočena směrem k Jaffské silnici, po níž poutníci přicházeli z přístavu v Jaffě. Postavena byla v roce 1538 sultánem Sulejmanem I.[1] Jde o nejfrekventovanější bránu Starého Města[2].

Image Title: Jaffa Gate from Outside

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Jaffa gate is the only gate on the western side of Jerusalem. It is so called because through it passes the road and the traffic to and from Jaffa. It is one of eight gates in the city wall, of which one, the golden Gate, had long been walled up. the Jaffa gate is called by the Moslem, Bab el-Khalil, that is Gate of the Friend (of God) - Abraham, because from this gate is the road to Hebron where Abraham lived.

The scene is liveliest on Sunday, and on Friday --- the holy day of the Mohammedans. Then the Jaffa road appears as the principal promenade of the natives."
