The Western Wall in Jerusalem, shown on this postcard during a festival, is one of the holiest places for both Jews and Muslims. For the Jews this limestone wall, which is actually part of the bigger, ancient retaining wall, is holy because its direct connection to the Temple Mount. The Muslims revere this place because the Prophet Mohamad tied his horse to this wall before ascending to paradise.
The Western Wall was inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List as Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls in 1981
This wonderful postcard was sent by Nastya as an official Postcrossing Postcard.
