The wall variously known as the Wailing Wall or the Western Wall was built by King Herod as a retaining wall for the west side of the platform surrounding the Temple -- part of Herod's extensive remodeling of the Temple. It was the outermost wall dividing the Temple from the city of Jerusalem, and in the time when the Temple stood, it had no great importance except as physical support for the Temple grounds. The Romans destroyed the Temple, but in failing to destroy the Western Wall, they left it to become a monument to the Temple, hence its modern sacred status.
