Rating: 9,4/10 ( votes)  The Garbage Gate got its name because it was through them that garbage was removed from the Temple to the Hinnom Valley. This gate is the smallest of all the gates of the Old City of Jerusalem. The trash gate leads to the Jewish Quarter as well as the Western Wall. The Arabic name for this gate is Bab al-Maghariba. Translated into Russian, this means the Moorish Gate. Garbage gates are mentioned in the Old Testament as well as in the Book of Nehemiah. Above the gate you can see an ancient carved arch with a flower carved on it. In 1952, the Garbage Gate was reconstructed and enlarged.
