The next stop is the famous Western Wall, the part of the western retaining wall of the Temple Mount, it was built by Herod the Great during his expansion of the Temple in 20 BCE. The wall acts as an outdoor synagogue, with written prayers inserted into the crevices between the large stones.
Then you will follow along the Via Dolorosa, also known as the Way of the Cross. Jesus walked along this way from the place where he was sentenced to the location of the crucifixion, and many pilgrims chose to walk it as well, stopping at various stations.
This road will lead you to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, one of the most significant pilgrimage sites for Christians because it was built on the site where Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead.
