Answer 1

The Western Wall

Indisputably, King Herdo's greatest and most magnificent project in Jerusalem was the platform of the Temple Mount and the Temple itself.

During Herdo's regin the area of the Temple Mount was enlarged and huge supporting walls were built.

The Western Wall, part of his supporting system, is 486 meters long.

Following the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Romans at the end of the Jew's revolt, the supporting wall and the platform remained.

In the centuries that followed legends and commentaries sprang up about the Western Wall and its sanctity: "This is the Western Wall af the Temple, which is never destroyed for the shekhinah [the Divine presence] is in the west" (Talmud tractate Bamidbar Rabah 11:63).

Over time the Western Wall became the central and most important place of worship for the Jews of Jerusalem.
