Lion Gate "Bab El Asbat " (Map of Wall) Located on the East Wall. It was restored in 1538 A.D. Suliman called the east gate of the city Bab El- Ghor, 'the Jordan Valley Gate' but this name never took root. An earlier gate on roughly the same spot was called Saint Stephen's Gate, and this was the name that remained common among the Christian communities. Its name is driven from the fact that it has carvings of two lions on each side. These lions are the symbol of the leader Al-Thaher Baibers who established Khan AL-Thaher in Jerusalem. After its destruction the stones were used to rennovate this gate and the lions were placed on the both sides of the wall. The original back wall of the gate which created an L-shaped entrance, was removed under the British mandate to enable vehicles to reach the Austrian Hospital.
