Bāb Ḥuṭṭa (Arabic: باب حطة or باب الحطه Bāb (al-)Huṭṭa, Bāb (al-)Hiṭṭa) is a neighborhood in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem to the north of Al-Aqsa Compound. The name literally means "Forgiveness (or Remission or Pardon) Gate", referring to the Remission Gate of the Haram compound, connected by Bāb Ḥuṭṭa Street. As one of the northern gates, it is opposite to Abwab Mihrab Mariam and between Madrasah al-Karimiyah and Turbah al-Awhadiyah. It is located on the Northern Wall near the eastern corner. According to the study of Al-Ratrout (2002), the gate's name has changed throughout history. It is believed that this change was due to restorations over the years and Le Strange named this door as the ancient Bab al-Asbat. Today, Bab al-Hitta is one of the three gates that are open for morning, evening, and night prayers.
