Damascus, the eastern part of the city wall near to Bab Kisan

Damascus, the eastern part of the city wall near to Bab Kisan

Parts of the historic city wall, some with integrated residential buildings, have been preserved to this day. Legend has it that the apostle Paul fled from here, the Bab Kisan gate in the background on the right, to spread the Christian doctrine.
