by aish.com
At last, incredible labyrinth of tunnels, arches and passageways are revealed to us.
Today, you will be travelling through those tunnels. Your virtual footsteps will trace thousands of years of history.
It was once called the "Wailing Wall," for all the generations of Jewish tears shed at this holy place of yearning.
Here we begin the Western Wall Tunnel virtual tour.
The fluorescent brightness of modern life falls away as we descend inside the tunnels.
At the time of the Second Temple, a huge bridge connected the upper city of Jerusalem to the Temple Mount.
Here, close to Wilson's Arch, is the "Hall of the Hasmoneans."
Meet the largest building stone ever used in world history.
Warren's Gate was one one of the major entrances to the Temple Mount.
This is the closest accessible point to where the Holy Ark stood.
We enter a very long, straight, narrow passage known eponymously as "The Tunnel."
We now explore three waterways that supplied water to the Temple.
Originally a promenade that ran the full length of the Western Wall.
At the end of the Hasmonean aqueduct is a large pool called the Struthion Pool.
As we near the exit, we can't help but marvel at the modern miracle of the Jewish people's return to their land.
