Inscription.
An open public space was created on the Ophel ascent for the throngs of pilgrims before they entered the Temple Mount, featuring, among other things, many ritual purification baths. Because this area was on a slope, monumental staircases were built before the gates leading to the Temple Mount from the south (the double, western Hulda Gate and the triple, eastern Hulda Gate).
