Place of prayer of the Jewish people

It 's also said the highlight of Jerusalem's Old City in the largest Jewish " Wailing Wall " .
Temple 20 BC , the major expansion in a form close to a complete renovation by Herod the Great was destroyed by the Roman army led by Titus in '70 . Part of the west side of the outer wall that was surrounding the temple is the Western Wall , the Jews are referred to as " the wall of the west " . Including this part , the base part is left almost all outer wall .
After the collapse by the Roman army , the Jews are derived from that prayer here only once a year is allowed , the scene came to be called the " Wailing Wall " .
And , since the Six-Day War in 1967 , it becomes to be able to pray freely , long-cherished wish of 1900 is come true , to the present.

Admission Anyone can visit for free , but the baggage inspection by soldiers , photography ban , not close to the wall in shorts and sleeveless holidays and Shabbat , men's hat called Kippa in ( entrance that must be turnip hat I want to note that some such ) to lend , even regulation .
Because it is a sacred place of Judaism improper introduction of the New Testament also ( co-lo ) .

The entire length of the Western Wall and about 490m. I refer to only part of about 57 m width that is visible on the ground of the west outer wall of the Temple Mount in general. Worship is carried out in this place , facing the square .
