The prayer section is part of a 488-metre retaining wall supporting the built-up Temple Mount hill. Seventeen courses sit below street level, while just over half its height dates from the end of the Second Temple period. Herodian blocks anchor the lower courses; Umayyad and Ottoman-era additions rise above them.
