Going through the Jewish Quarter you reach the holiest site in the Jewish faith, the Western Wall. Here Jews from around the world come to pray and put prayer notes between the wall's stones. This 2,000-year-old wall was part of the outer supporting walls of the holy Second Temple which was destroyed in AD70.
