Point of Interest
The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, is a significant religious site located in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. It is the only remaining part of the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, making it one of the most sacred sites in Judaism.
Visitors to the Western Wall can witness the powerful sight of devout Jews praying and inserting written prayers into the cracks of the wall, a long-standing tradition. In close proximity, one can also explore the Western Wall Tunnels, underground passages that reveal the full length of the wall and provide an intriguing look into the architectural methods of the ancient builders. -
Historical, Place of worship
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. According to traditions dating back to the fourth century, it contains the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus was crucified, at a place known as Calvary or Golgotha, and Jesus's empty tomb, where he is believed by Christians to have been buried and resurrected. The tomb is enclosed by a 19th-century shrine called the Aedicula. The Status Quo, an understanding between religious communities dating to 1757, applies to the site.
