Western Wall Tunnel
The Western Wall Tunnel ((ヘブライ語:מנהרת הכותל), translit.: ''Minheret Hakotel'') is an underground tunnel exposing the full length of the Western Wall. The tunnel is adjacent to the Western Wall and is located under buildings of the Old City of Jerusalem. While the open-air portion of the Western Wall is approximately long, the majority of its original length is hidden underground. The tunnel allows access to an additional of the wall.
==History==
In 19 BCE, King Herod undertook a project to double the area of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem by incorporating part of the hill on the Northwest. In order to do so, four retaining walls were constructed, and the Temple Mount was expanded on top of them. These retaining walls remained standing, along with the platform itself, after the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.
Since then much of the area next to the walls became covered and built upon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archaeological Sites in Israel – The Western Wall and Its Tunnels )〕
Part of the Western Wall remained exposed after the destruction of the Temple. Since it was the closest area to the Temple’s Holy of Holies that remained accessible, it became a place of Jewish prayer for millennia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What is the Western Wall? )〕
