The Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel is where the Second Temple, an ancient Jewish holy temple, stood until its destruction in 70 CE. The temple’s western wall has been preserved from that time and is considered to be the most important place for worship and prayer. Because of religious decrees in Judaism, entering the Temple Mount is forbidden. Interestingly enough in the plaza at the top of the Temple Mount, the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque are located which are important religious sites in Islam.
