Wilson's Arch (Jerusalem)
Wilson's Arch is the modern name for the ancient stone arch whose top is still visible today, where it is supported against the Northeast corner of Jerusalem's Western Wall, so that it appears on the left to visitors facing the Wall. It once spanned , supporting a road that continued for and allowed access to a gate that was level with the surface of the Temple Mount during the time of Jesus.〔(Jerusalem 101 ), accessed March 11, 2011.〕
==Name==
The arch was identified in 1864 by 19th-century explorer and surveyor Charles William Wilson, for whom it is now named.〔 Wilson had joined the Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem in 1864, continuing to participate in the city surveying project that was established to improve the city's water system. The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) later commissioned him to survey Western Palestine, as well.
While the arch is named for Wilson, there is a claim that Swiss physician Titus Tobler had earlier discovered and identified the structure as part of the bridge between the Temple Mount and the Upper City in his 1845/46 writings. According to some, Tobler passed on information about the arch to Wilson, whose name was linked to the arch because he was the one who publicized the find.
