The Wailing Wall is the only surviving part of the Jewish shrine - the ancient Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. The Wailing Wall is made up of rows of carefully hewn stones, the height of which ranges from one to one and a half meters. Its name is the Wailing Wall it received, because for many centuries Jews came here to offer prayers and mourn the destruction of the Second Temple. This ancient wall has become a symbol of faith of the Israeli people, their hope of returning to their roots and origins.
