The Zion Gate in 1860
Today we’ll not only go to Israel — we’ll go back in time! This picture of the Zion Gate, one of the eleven gates in the walls around the Old City of Jerusalem, was taken in 1860. These walls were built in 1540 by Suleiman the Magnificent, then the sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
Check out more amazing historical shots of Jerusalem – as well as a pictures of what the Zion Gate looks like today.
