Valley Gate

The Valley Gate was located in the southwest corner of Jerusalem. It opens to the Valley of Hinnom which circles around Jerusalem from the west to the south of the city. This is the gate where Nehemiah began his nocturnal inspection of the walls shortly after his arrival in Jerusalem

Old City Gate

The Old Gate could be located on the northwest side of the city as the wall makes a major turn from north to south.  The name “Old Gate” implies that it was one of the first gates of ancient Jerusalem. It would have been first built when Jerusalem was experiencing much better times than they were during Nehemiah’s time. (2 Kings 14:13).
