Herod’s Temple

Herod’s Temple


‎The inner courts of Herod’s Temple were accessible by 10 gates, through which only Jews could enter. Once inside, there were several chambers and a courtyard where sacrifices were made.

Herod’s Second Temple and Temple Mount expansive building project was completed in approximately 62–64 AD, only to be destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
