Zion Gate is located in the southwest of the old city of Jerusalem, opposite Mount Zion, hence its name. It was built during the Suleiman Emperor period, because there is King David's tomb on Mount Zion, also known as David Gate. Inside the gate are the Armenian and Jewish districts. Up to now, there are still bullet marks left on the gates of the city. During Jordan's administration of the Old City, it was closed until June 5, 1967, when Israel launched the Lightning "Six-Day War" (Third Middle East War), captured Zion Gate, recaptured Jerusalem and opened Zion Gate.
