(Twitter) Lenny Ben-David - The Golden Gate of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been walled up since medieval times. Its Hebrew name is Sha'ar HaRachamim (Gate of Mercy). Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police recently took place around the Bab al-Rahma - a large structure inside the Golden Gate that police closed off in 2003 and that the Islamic Waqf wants reopened. According to Jewish tradition, Sha'ar HaRachamim is the gate through which the Messiah will come. The gate was sealed and a Muslim cemetery placed there allegedly to prevent this. A rare photo from 1900 from the Library of Congress, captioned "Interior of Golden Gate," shows a room with massive columns. The gate dates back to the 7th-8th century CE and was built over an earlier gate. A photo shows the top of the arch of the earlier gate.
