The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall or Kotel in Hebrew, is the holiest site in Judaism accessible for prayer, situated in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. A remnant of the retaining wall surrounding the Second Temple — destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE — the Western Wall has been a place of Jewish prayer, mourning, and pilgrimage for nearly two millennia. This immersive 360° virtual tour lets you stand in the Western Wall Plaza, see the ancient limestone blocks rising over 18 metres, and experience the profound spiritual atmosphere that draws millions of Jewish worshippers, Christians, Muslims, and visitors of all backgrounds each year. It is tradition to place a handwritten prayer note into the cracks between the ancient stones — a custom practised by pilgrims from across the world. Situated adjacent to the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall sits at the heart of one of the most sacred landscapes on Earth.
