Bab Qinnasrin (Arabic: بَاب قِنَّسْرِيْن, romanizedBāb Qinnasrīn), meaning the Gate of Qinnasrin is one of the gates of the medieval Old CityofAleppo in northern Syria.[1] In its present form, it dates to 1256.[1]

History

[edit]

The gate was originally built by the Hamdanid ruler Sayf al-Dawla in 964, and fitted with the doors of the gate of Amorium, taken as spoils by Caliph al-Mu'tasim after his sack of the city in 838. Al-Mu'tasim installed them at the entrance of his palace in Samarra, until they were taken, probably towards the end of the 9th century, and installed at Raqqa, whence Sayf al-Dawla in turn took them.[2]

Significant damage to the gate occurred as part of armed conflict in Aleppo during the Syrian war.[1]
