The Wailing Wall - built by King Herod around the Temple Mount. Acquired its spiritual significance only in the 16th century, when the city was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. In 1967, during the Six Day War, the shrine was finally repulsed by Israel from the Muslims. There is a belief that the prayer near the Western Wall will not go unanswered, and the letters are attached between its stones - a direct appeal to God. Like it or not, but the Western Wall today - the most visited tourist attraction in Israel.
