Bab Tuma, also known as Thomass Gate, is a historic borough and one of the ancient gates inside the Old City of Damascus, Syria. This stunning postcard, dating back to the 1910s, captures the beauty and charm of this iconic gate and the bridge that connects it to the bustling city beyond. Bab Tuma owes its name to St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and is a significant religious and historical site for Christians in Syria. The gate is located near the Mar Sarkis Church and the Mar Maroun Monastery, adding to its spiritual significance. The image showcases the intricate details of the gate's architecture, with its ornate arches and intricate carvings. The bridge, with its arched design, spans the width of the valley, leading to the Old City. The minarets of the mosques in the background add to the rich tapestry of religious diversity that characterizes Damascus. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of donkeys and telegraph poles, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Damascus during that era. The historical walls of the city, which have stood for centuries, can be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of history and tradition. This postcard is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of Damascus, a city that has witnessed centuries of history and continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of cultures and traditions.
