Welcome

Ancient Cistern

We now explore three waterways that supplied water to the Temple.

Entrance

Here we begin the Western Wall Tunnel virtual tour.

Herodian Street

Originally a promenade that ran the full length of the Western Wall.

Exit and Epilogue

As we near the exit, we can't help but marvel at the modern miracle of the Jewish people's return to their land.

Holy of Holies

This is the closest accessible point to where the Holy Ark stood.

Huge Stone

Meet the largest building stone ever used in world history.

Kotel Tunnel

We enter a very long, straight, narrow passage known eponymously as "The Tunnel."

Overview

Today, you will be travelling through those tunnels. Your virtual footsteps will trace thousands of years of history.

Public Room

Here, close to Wilson's Arch, is the "Hall of the Hasmoneans."

Quarry and Aqueduct

Secret Passage

The fluorescent brightness of modern life falls away as we descend inside the tunnels.

Struthion Pool

At the end of the Hasmonean aqueduct is a large pool called the Struthion Pool.

Warren's Gate

Warren's Gate was one one of the major entrances to the Temple Mount.

Western Wall

It was once called the "Wailing Wall," for all the generations of Jewish tears shed at this holy place of yearning.

Wilson's Arch

At the time of the Second Temple, a huge bridge connected the upper city of Jerusalem to the Temple Mount.
