Bab al-Faraj (Damascus)
text:
Bab al-Faraj also known as Bab al-Bawabijiyah and Bab al-Manakhiliyah is one of the gates of the old city of Damascus in Syria. The gate was built as part of a large program to re-fortify the city following its capture by Nur ad-Din Zangi in 1154. The twin gate crosses a bridge over a section of the Barada river that runs along the northern city walls of Damascus. The gate is notable for being the only surviving gate in the city that was built completely after the Muslim conquest of Damascus.
