The Cotton Merchant's Gate (Bab al-Qattanin) connectitong the Temple Mount to the vibrant bazaars of the Muslim quarter.
The Cotton Merchant's Gate, (Arabic: Bab al-Qattanin), is one of the most beautiful gates that leads onto the Temple Mount. It was built by Mamluk Sultan ibn Kalaoun. Since this site is the closest a person can get to the Foundation Stone without setting foot on the mount itself, the gate was a popular place of prayer for Jews during the 19th century.
