Genre: Archaeological Photography
View of the archway, seen here partially filled in with rubble masonry. Two sappers are posed above the archway. The arch was restored in the 19th century and incorporated into the Church of the Redeemer: 'Not far from the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the old gateway which formerly led into the pile of buildings belonging to the Knights of St. John. The arch is semi-circular, and was at one time beautifully decorated, now much of this is destroyed, and a portion of the stone carving has been cut away to allow a rude earthenware spout to be brought down across the face of the arch. Round the arch are a series of figures, in stone, now much dilapidated, but apparently at one time representing the signs of the Zodiac, as the centre is occupied by the sun and moon, and round the borders portions of the names of the months can still be made out...' (Part 1, Notes, p. 58).
