The Western Wall is the holiest site in Judaism, representing the last remnant of the western retaining wall of the Second Temple destroyed by Romans in 70 CE. Standing 50 meters long and 20 meters high, it draws Jewish pilgrims from around the world who come to pray and place written prayers between its ancient stones. The site is accessible 24/7 and divided into separate sections for men and women. During Shabbat and Jewish holidays, moving communal prayers take place with thousands of worshippers gathering at this sacred spot.
