The western wall is the last remaining structure that still stands from the temple which once stood on the mountain. Therefore, the Jewish people consider the place holy.

The Western Wall is one of the retaining walls used for holding up the esplanade where the Jewish Temple stood. It is a very holy site to Jews. As a result, many Jews go to pray there.
