The real holiest site is the Temple Mount itself - where the Temple stood before its destruction by the Romans in year 70. However, access to the site is severely restricted today - due to a combination of ritual purity issues and political restrictions due to the fact that the Temple Mount is currently occupied by the Dome of the Rock ( a holy site to Muslims) The Temple mount and its adjacent Western ("Wailing") Wall.
