Bab Antakia
Edit ThisThe Antioch Gate leada directly into the central axis through the souks; the street behind it is covered by vaulted roof for most of its 800 meters and brings us out as the foot of the mound on which the Citadel stands. Bab Antakia can be reached by going through an archway on the northwest corner of the ramparts and taking the first narrow street to the right. This leads up to the rampark walk, lined today with houses; there is a good view down onto the crowded esplanade.

Bab Qinnesrin
Edit ThisThe most impressive of all the fortified gates: Bab Qinnesrin. From here a long narrow street brings you to the central part of the covered souks and to the Great Mosque. South of Bab Qinnesrin, half-hidden by an expanse of cemeteries, lies the beautiful madrassat al Fardos.
