Bab al-Saghir (Arabic: باب الصغير, romanized: Bāb al-Ṣaghīr, lit.

It has qubūr (Arabic: قُبُوْر, graves) on either side of the road,[3][4] and is located in the Dimashq Neighborhood, southwest of the Umayyad Mosque.

The bāb (Arabic: بَاب, gate) was initially built by the Arameans, then it was dedicated to Zeus during the Seleucid era.

Before any possible plan could be implemented, Damascus's military commander (or atabeg) Mu'in al-Din Abu Mansur Anur launched large-scale attacks on the Crusaders- made up of anyone who could fight- while strengthening the fortifications.

[6] Maqbarat al-Bāb aṣ-Ṣaghīr (Arabic: مَقْبَرَة ٱلْبَاب ٱلصَّغِيْر)[2] is the ancient cemetery, which is adjacent to the gate, and is a site of significant religious importance to Muslims.
