Millions of pilgrims nowadays, both Jewish and non-Jewish visit this place to pray and write their wishes on paper and place it in between the cracks of the 2000 year old Herodian stones. Serving as an open-air Synagogue, it is divided into two separate sections for men and women to pray. Different styles of stonework composes the wall, a reflection of the different eras they were constructed in. The underground section of the Wall, is accessible through a network of complex tunnels.
