At al Umayyad time mostprobablyduringthereign of Abdul Malik bin Marwan.

Reason of the name:
In thepast, it wasnamed “thetriple Gate” because it consists of threegates.

Builder Name:
 TheUmayyad (Abdul Malik bin Marwan).

Additional Information aboutthelandmark:
-ThesegatesservedtheIslamicneighborhoodslocatedsouth of themosquewherethegateswere 3 timeslong (similartotheDouble Gate corridors) underthelevel of themosqueleadstoitsyards.

Closingthe Gate:
There is a commonsayingthe Gate closedafterSalahaddinliberation, and has circulatedinformationaboutallclosed Gates, However, there is nohistoricalevidencetosupportthis Saying.

Proof of inaccuracy:
 -At thehadith of Ibn al-‘UmariabouttheMarwanichapel in 755 AH-1354 AD mentionedtheopened Gates whichwasleadingtothearea of ​​Silwanandwasintendedtriple Gate in 746 AH – 1345 AD.
-TheMarwanichapelwasreacheduntiltheyear 900 AH – 1495 AD fromoutsidethe wall, fromthetripleorsingle Gate as indicatedbyHanbali.
-Duringexcavations in theUmayyadregion, thewall of Ayyubirevealed in front of theclosedgatesindicatesthattheAyyubiesprotectedthegatesbybuilding a wall in front of them, but not closingthem as believed, It is morelikelythatthetripleandsingle Gates Completelyclosedaftertherebuilding of the wall at the time of Sultan Suleiman at thebeginning of theOttomanperiod.

-AftertheZionistoccupation of Jerusalem in 1967 AD:
-Followingthefailure of Jewishexcavations in thearea of ​​theUmayyadpalacessouth of the Al-Aqsa Mosque toprovinganyrighttotheJews, theyclaimedthatthetriple Gate (as well as theDouble Gate) one of theirclaimed Temple andcalledthemthe “Gate of Khaldah”, claimingthattheydiscoveredtheremains of a staircasefromthesecondtemple, leadingtothem, took it as an excusetobuild a stonestaircasealongpart of the barrier south of Al-Aqsa, andspecifically in theareabetweenthetripleandDouble Gates. 
-TheMuslimswerealertedtothattheattemptaimed at capturingtheMarwanichapelandtheold Aqsa Mosque andturningtheminto Synagoguetofind a placefortheJewswithin Al-Aqsa Mosque, but thankstoGodthattheMuslimswereabletoreducethatdangerthroughthework of restoration of theworshipers.

At 2001:
Because of excavations, part of thesouthernwall of the Al-Aqsa Mosque buckled betweenthetripleandthesingle Gates, with a length of aboutthirtymeters, andthiswasthemostintenseeruptionovertherebuilding Aqsa Mosque since theoccupation.

An Overview of theLandmark:
It is threeadjacentgates in thesouthernwall of thewall of Al-Aqsa Mosque, 50 meters fromthesinglegate, 80 m fromtheDoublegate, overlookstheemirate’shouseandtheexistingUmayyadpalacessouth of Al-Aqsa, leadtothe western wall of theMarwaniChapellocated inside Al-Aqsa Mosque Al-Mubarak, locatedeast of theDome of theRock, Umayyadsbuilt it toreachthechapellocatedunderthesoutheastcorner of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, whichknown as theeasternsettlement.
ThegatesservedtheMuslimneighborhoods of themosquecomplexwherethegates had threelongcorridor (similartotheDouble Gate corridors) underthelevel of themosqueleadstoitsyards.

Closingthe Gate:
There is a commonsayingthatthe Gate closedafterSalahaddinliberation, andpopularized on theotherclosed Gates, but there is nohistoricalevidencetosupportthisstatement.

Proof of inaccuracy:
In thespeech of Ibn al-OmariabouttheMarwanichapel in 755 AH-1354M mentionedopened Gates leadingtothearea of ​​Silwanintendedtriple Gate in 746 AH – 1345 AD.
TheMarwanichapelreacheduntiltheyear 900 AH – 1495 AD fromoutsidethe fence fromthetripleorsingle Gate as pointedoutbyHanbali.
Duringtheexcavations at Umayyadregion, thewall of Ayyubirevealed in front of theclosedgates. ThisindicatesthattheAyyubidsprotectedthegatesbybuilding a fence in front of them but not closedthem, as believed.
 It is likelythatthetripleandsingle Gates completelyclosedafterthereconstruction of thewall at thebeginning of theOttomanperiod.
