Inside the Men's Prayer Area, Western Wall-Jerusalem. Look for the ancient (1st Cent. AD?) 'Wilson's Arch' in 1P.

Named after a 19th Century English archaeologist who discovered it, Wilson’s Arch is located inside an arched room to the left of the Western Wall. Today the room inside the arch is a 'Men's Prayer Room'. The arch is believed to be the part of a bridge through which Jewish priests walked from their Upper City homes to the Temple of Jerusalem 2000 years ago.
