The New Gate "Bab El-Jadeed"

(  Map of Wall )
Located in the North Wall, it was not in Sultan Sulieman's plan, as its form clearly indicates. It was opened only in 1887 by Ottman Sultan Abdel Hamid II to facilitate access to the Old City from the new suburbs developing to the north outside the city walls.

Just west of the gate stands a little park in an inset of the wall. In it one can see the base of a great tower projecting out beneath Suleiman's wall. It is known among the Arab community as Qaser Jalud "Goliath's Castle".
