| dc.description | South side of the gate, leaving the Western Wall area; A modern gate in the 16th century wall. Originally the gate was much smaller, but was enlarged for vehicular traffic by the Jordanians in 1952. The gate is the closest to the Western Wall; directly behind the gate lies the Beit Shalom Garden and the entrance to the Western Wall compound. After its capture by Israel in 1967, architect Shlomo Aronson was commissioned to renovate this gate. The name Mughrabi gate (Bab al-Magharibeh) refers to the Moroccan Quarter (Mughrabi quarter), no longer in existence, which was situated near the area.
