ISRAEL-RELIGION-JUDAISM
Retry Correct Incorrect According to Harvard’s Divinity School, the Western Wall is the only surviving structure from the Second Temple that formed the religious center of the Kingdom of Judea. It was built on the site of King Solomon’s First Temple — or Beit HaMikdash — after the residents of Judea returned from exile by the Babylonians who destroyed it. However, the Western Wall remains such a sacred site of mourning today because the Romans destroyed this second temple in 70 CE.
