Wailing Wall
Western Wall, Old City of Jerusalem, one of the oldest walls in the world
The Western Wall is considered holy due to its connection to the Temple Mount. Because of the Temple Mount entry restrictions, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, though the holiest site in the Jewish faith lies behind it.
