This entrance next to the Jaffa Gate was opened in the early 1900's so that the Kaiser's procession could go through.
This is the only break in the wall that's not one of the gates.

Mt Scopus
The Mount of Olivers, with the Old City walls in the lower left corner.
There is a tradition to be buried on this mountain because when the Messiah arrives and the dead are
resurrected, you can get up out of your grave and walk right over to the Temple Mount next door
