Western Wall (Wailing Wall)

The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, stands as a significant open-air synagogue in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City. Located in the Jewish Quarter, this ancient site dates back to the Second Temple period and is composed of pale gold stones that evoke the colors of the Negev desert. Visitors can observe worshippers reciting prayers and tucking handwritten notes into the cracks between the stones. Today, the Western Wall remains a sacred and central gathering place for both religious and cultural experiences.
