Robinson's Arch

This large stone protruding from the southern part of the Western Wall are actual remnants of an arch that led pilgrims to the Temple Mount 2000 years ago. It was the highest arch in the world that time and supported a great stairway that led to the Temple. It is named after the American researcher, Edward Robinson, who discovered it in 1838 .
