The "western wall" of the Temple Mount, also known as the "wailing wall", in Jerusalem, is probably the most holy site for the Jewish people. It is the exposed surviving wall of the Temple that stood most recently until +/- 70 C.E. (A.D.) when it was destroyed by the Romans. Jews from around the world come to this location to pray, and to leave written prayers stuck in between the stones. It is called the "wailing wall" because it is a place of lamentation and anguish over that destruction. The Temple Mount itself is important, perhaps equally so, because it sits on top of Mount Moriah, the historical site where Abraham was said to have sacrificed a ram instead of his son Issac, thus departing from prior cults of human/child sacrifices to animal sacrifices. Because of its relationship to Abraham, it is thus also a holy site for Christians and Muslims alike. The only house of worship on the Temple Mount today is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which houses the Dome of the Rock, which is that rocky outcropping of Mount Moriah that lays intentionally exposed to view.
