The wall itself dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE. It is often referred to as the Wailing Wall, in connection with Jewish practice of coming to the site to mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple.         According to the Bible, Solomon's Temple was built atop the Temple Mount in the 10th century BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The Second Temple was built in 516 BCE. In around 19 BCE Herod the Great began a massive expansion project on the Temple Mount. He artificially expanded the area which resulted in an enlarged platform. Today's Western Wall formed part of the retaining perimeter wall of this platform.         Herod's Temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire, along with the rest of Jerusalem, in 70 CE during the First Jewish-Roman War. However, the Western Wall was spared.         In 1517 the Turkish Ottoman Empire under Selim I conquered the Land of Israel from the Egyptian Mamelukes who had held it since 1250. The Ottomans had a benevolent attitude towards the Jews, having welcomed thousands of Jewish refugees who had recently been expelled from Spain by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella of Castile in 1492. Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent was so taken with Jerusalem and its plight that he ordered a magnificent fortress-wall built around the entire city, today's Old City wall.         Suleiman the Magnificent wished to locate the remains of the Temple. He came across a woman who was carrying a basket loaded with rubbish. He asked her where she was from, to which she replied "I live in Bethlehem". He queried why she had travelled all the way to Jerusalem in order to dump her waste. She told him that the tradition was that whoever dumps rubbish in this area performs a good deed. Upon hearing this he ordered that the dirt be removed from the site. When the remains of the Temple and Western Wall were revealed, he proceeded to douse them with rosewater.                   Place a Bid!
