Cotton Merchants' Gate

Palestine

The Cotton Merchants' Gate (Bāb al-Qaṭṭānīn) is one of the gates of the al-Aqsa Compound (al-Ḥaram ash-Sharīf). It is by the western esplanade of the compound and leads to the Cotton Merchants' Market, a sūq. It is also called the Gate of the Cotton Merchants' Market (Bāb Sūq al-Qaṭṭānīn). Its intricate eastern façade makes it one of the most recognizable and "grandest of the Haram gates".
