Bab Qinnasrin

Bab Qinnasrin (Arabic: بَاب قِنَّسْرِيْن, romanized: Bāb Qinnasrīn), meaning the Gate of Qinnasrin is one of the gates of the medieval Old City of Aleppo in northern Syria.

[1] 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.

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