Wailing Wall in Jerusalem

‎The Wailing Wall is an exposed section of ancient wall situated on the western flank of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The foundation dates back to the time of Herod, but the above ground portion of the wall was frequently restored. This section of the Herodian walls is built from enormous stones; they are generally 1.2 m high and 12 m long. Fine-chiseled borders surround each of these stones, i.e. the smooth surface of their front side is recessed at the borders.
‎Mark 13:1
