The Little Western Wall is a Jewish religious site located in the Muslim Quarter. The wall itself dates from the Second Temple period, (516 BCE – 70 CE). It is the continuation of the larger part of the Western Wall and almost exactly faces the Holy of Holies. This section of the wall is of deep spiritual significance because of its close proximity to the Holy of Holies.

Damascus Gate in its current form was built in 1537 under the rule of Suleiman the Magnificent. Beneath the current gate, the remains of an earlier gate can be seen, dating back to the time of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who visited the region in 130–131 CE.
