The gates of Damascus were historically guarded by various figures, including soldiers and officials, depending on the period. In the biblical context, the gates were famously guarded by the governor of the city, who was responsible for its security and order. In Islamic tradition, during the time of the early caliphates, the gates were also protected by military leaders and their troops to ensure the safety of the city. The guarding of the gates has always been a crucial aspect of maintaining control and defense in ancient cities.
