History
The gate was cut into the western stretch of the city wall under the Shaybanid Abdullah Khan II. It was one of two gates on the road towards Romitan and Khorezm, and the Shakhrud canal, the city's main waterway, left town close by.
It was restored in 1960 by A. Salomov and M. Mubinov and again in 2005 by S. Karimov. It stands in the Khoja Gunjari quarter near the central bazaar and the Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum, on the edge of Samanid Park, with fragments of the old city wall alongside.
