The Western Wall (formerly known as the Wailing Wall) is just a portion of the western side of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Temple Mount is the foundation built by Herod the Great during the time of Christ. It was elevated about 75 feet above the road below. The white ramp on the far right is the ramp that leads to the top of the Temple Mount. To the right of the ramp (out of view of this photo) are some of the stones that remained from the Temple that were thrown down by the Romans when they destroyed the Temple in AD70 - as prophesied by Jesus in Matt 24.
