It is one of the gates on the second enclosure of the eastern suburbs of Tunis. Built in the Turkish period, it takes its name from one of Abul Hasan ash-Shadhili's forty disciples, Sidi Ali El Gorjani, who also gave his name to a now-disused cemetery and a public park.[1]
Equipped with an important bastion, it controls the plains of Mornag and Sebkha Sejoumi.
