Huldah Gates

The Huldah Gates (Hebrew: Sha‘arei Hulda, שערי חולדה), are the two sets of now-blocked gates in the Southern Wall "Southern Wall of Temple Mount") of the Temple Mount , situated in Jerusalem 's Old City . The gates and passageways are now part of Masjid al-Aqsa al-Qadimi and Masjid al-Marwani "Masjid al-Marwan") . The term is currently being used for the remains of two later sets of gates, the Triple Gate and the Double Gate, known together as the Huldah Gates, built as part of the much extended Herodian Temple Mount. There still are a few Herodian architectural elements visible outside and inside the gates, while most everything else of what we see today is later, Muslim-period work. Why we're running ads? The Madain Project is a very unique resource of Abrahamic History & Archaeology; reaching more than half a million readers a month. Until February 2021 all the operational and management costs were being paid by the volunteers working on the project. But, the increase in the userbase and the overall costs of servers and other services and equipment that are needed to remain live forced us to look for other avenues of inflow. We apologise about it. We apologise for the inconvenience that ads bring to your reading experience; we're working on a membership model for the Madain Project which will provide you with an absolute ads-free reading. Right now we need your help. Please Donate. As of now, we rely on donations from patrons like you to supplement the funding and keep the Madain Project website up and running.
