A live webcam provides real-time views of both the Western Wall and the adjacent Western Wall Square located in Jerusalem, Israel. Commonly known as the Wailing Wall, the Western Wall, or Ha-Kotel ha-Maarawi, this ancient structure is a segment of the 485-meter-long wall that once surrounded the western slope of the Temple Mount in the Old City. It has endured since the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 A.D., making it the most significant Jewish site outside the Temple Mount itself. For centuries, the Western Wall has served as a powerful emblem of faith and hope, attracting countless generations of Jewish pilgrims who come to pray. The webcam at the Western Wall allows viewers to take a virtual excursion to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, enabling them to witness the Western Wall in real time. Typically, the term "Western Wall" refers to a 57-meter open section of this ancient structure, which faces a spacious area in the Jewish Quarter dedicated to prayer. The Western Wall Square is situated in the eastern part of the City Square in the Jewish Quarter, nestled next to the Wailing Wall.
