The gate was built for the protection of people. According to Jerusalem 101, it states, "The gates were all designed and built to have an L-shaped entry. Taking this sharp ninety degree turn would have slowed down an invading army in the final moments of a siege."

The walls are not needed today at all. According to the text, it states, "Since the people of Jerusalem are free from being invaded, and conquered, the walls aren't needed." Therefore, the walls aren't used today in Jerusalem. These walls were from the ancient times from the 1500's.
