The wall is the western part of what was the temple of Jerusalem. This wall for the Romans, represents his victory over Judea, after destroying the temple, they left the wall representing a trophy, so that in history its name would remain. However, for the Jews, it became the fulfillment of God&#8217;s promise that there would always be at least a part of his temple.<\/p>\n<p>A meeting of cultures takes place when seeing the rites and prayers of the Jews who make a pilgrimage to this place.
