I you mean the city of Jerusalem, it was not destroyed although it suffered severe damage. This was a consequence of the war. If you mean the temple, it is unclear if it were ordered destroyed by Titus, or if it was destroyed by an accident of the war. Some ancient writers claim that Titus wanted to spare the temple, but a fire due to either the rebels or the Romans destroyed it. At army rate, it was Titus, as commander or the Roman army, who gets the credit or the blame.

Where was the Roman Emperor Nero when he ordered Vespasian to end the riots in Jerusalem?
Although Vespasian's name was Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus, you do not say Titus Vespasian. You just say Vespasian. This is because his son and successor had the same name as is called by historians Titus.What Nero and Vespasian had to deal with when the latter went to Judea was more than just riots in Jerusalem. They had to deal with a revolt in the whole of Judea and Galilee. It is called the Great Jewish Revolt or the First Roman-Jewish War.Vespasian subjugated Galilee. He besieged Yodfat and Gamla and then conducted operations along the coast. He did not want to besiege Jerusalem because he thought it would cost too many Roman lives. He returned to Rome to depose Vitellius and take power. It was his son Titus who besieged Jerusalem. He did so after his father returned to Rome.
