It is located in the western corridor of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, between the Ashrafieh School in the north, and the Tanzi school in the south.

Many Islamic schools in Jerusalem is the path of Bab al-Silsilah. The construction of Bab al-Silsila was renewed during the Ayyubid period in the year 600 AH - 1200 AD (i.e. during the reign of the great King Jesus).

It has two entrances: the first in the north is called Bab al-Sakina, and it is closed, and it only opens for necessity, and the second in the south is called Bab al-Silsilah, and it is open. Both doors have a rectangular entrance with a height of 4.5 m, as it is considered one of the most maximum height, . The open door has a small entrance hole, sufficient for one person to enter when closed. This door is one of the three doors of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which opens alone for worshipers to perform the evening and dawn prayers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque since the Zionist occupation in 1967 AD. Like the rest of the gates of the western wall of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, it is feared that the Chain Gate will be affected by the excavations and the Zionist tunnels built under it, the most prominent of which is the “Hasmonaim” tunnel that extends along the wall. It is also at risk of being closed by the occupation authorities, such as the iron and cotton doors, especially since it has become the closest door through which Muslims reach the Al-Qibli Mosque (the main chapel in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque after the occupiers closed the Mughrabi Gate and made it restricted to non-Muslims, as it is the closest to the Al-Buraq Wall). the occupier, which they call the Western Wall.
