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. At one end was the Holy Place—a two-room sanctuary used by Jewish priests. 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.
