EDITORS COMMENTS
Bab Sharqi, or the Eastern Gate, also known as the Gate of the Sun, is a historic and architectural marvel located in Damascus, Syria. Dating back to the Roman era, this ancient gate is one of the seven original city entrances that grants access to the Old City. The gate stands proudly over the famed Straight Street, a biblical reference to a road mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. The Bab Sharqi is the only surviving Roman gate in Damascus, showcasing intricate stonework and impressive architecture. The gate's name, "Gate of the Sun," is derived from the way the sun rays illuminate the gate during sunrise and sunset, creating a breathtaking sight. The image captures the gate in its timeless beauty, with the towering minarets of mosques in the background, adding to the rich tapestry of the city's religious and cultural heritage. The towering structures of the minarets and the gate itself evoke a sense of grandeur and history, transporting us back to a time when the city was a significant cultural and commercial hub. The streets surrounding the gate are bustling with activity, with camels and their handlers making their way through the narrow alleys. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of Damascus, showcasing the city's unique blend of ancient and modern, traditional and contemporary. This photograph, taken circa 1910, is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of Bab Sharqi, a gate that continues to stand as a symbol of Damascus' rich history and cultural heritage.
