Background Information: The concept of the city has certainly changed since the era of city gates. In the old days, a city’ gate instilled a sense of protection. City gates were traditionally built to provide a point of controlled access to and departure from a (walled) city for people, vehicles, goods and animals.
Depending on their historical context they filled functions relating to defense, security, health, trade, taxation, and representation, and were correspondingly staffed by military or municipal authorities.
The city gates were also commonly used to display diverse kinds of public information such as announcements, tax and toll schedules, standards of local measures, and legal texts.
All over the world, today, many surviving gates have been heavily restored, rebuilt or new ones created to add to the appearance of a city, such as Bab Bou Jalous in Fes.
