Jaffa Gate Exterior (1)

View looking southeast at the pedestrian entrance to Jaffa Gate. The pointed–arch entrance is on the left side of the image. To the right of center note the minaret, called "David’s Tower." This is of course a misnomer. Most of the visible towers and walls date to the Ottoman Period (A.D. 1517– 1917), while the minaret itself dates to ca. 1655.
