Visitors come here to pray and leave written prayers in the cracks of the wall. It is a powerful place of reflection and connection for Jewish people worldwide.
From the Western Wall, walk towards the Christian Quarter. Here you will find the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, believed to be the site of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. This church is a major pilgrimage destination for Christians of many denominations besides the Protestants.
