View looking along the street towards the archway and tower, with sappers posed in the foreground: 'In the street leading to St Stephen's Gate are some ruins known as the Tower of Antonia;' 'Facing the street are some large stones with drafted margins, but they are not in their original position and nothing of the kind is visible inside, where there is a small court in which various Moslem saints and celebrities are buried ...
