The '''{{wp|Damascus Gate}}''' (Arabic: '''باب العامود''', ''Bāb al-ʿĀmūd''; Hebrew: '''שַׁעַר שְׁכֶם''', ''Sha'ar Shkhem''), also known as '''Nablus Gate''' and the '''Gate of the Pillar''', is gate that opens onto Nablus Road, leading to the city of Nablus. It was constructed upon the remains of the built ancient gates since the Second Temple Period.<ref>{{cite|url=https://jerusalemfoundation.org/old-project/damascus-gate/|title=Damascus Gate|accessdate=September 6, 2024}}</ref> It is located in [[Jerusalem]], Israel.

In the PC versions of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', a Koopa Troopa stole the '''Damascus Gate''' itself, forcing the site to close. Until Luigi returns the gate to the [[curator]], they will reward him 1540 [[bill|dollars]].
