The Yafa Gate of the Old City in Jerusalem got its name from the road to the port of Jaffa and the Mediterranean coast that starts here. To the right of the gate in 1898, the Turks made a wide gap, which is visible even now, so that Kaiser Wilhelm could freely enter the city in his carriage. In 1917, the commander of British troops, General Allenby, entered the Old City through the Yafsky Gate on foot in deference to the city and wanting to avoid comparison with the Kaiser.
