Arguably one of the most famous walls on Earth, this structure is sacred. Where is its home?

The Western Wall, aka the "Wailing Wall," stands in the Old City in Jerusalem, Israel. Jewish people consider the wall a place of prayer and pilgrimage, as it's the only thing that remains of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. Some come to place small scraps of paper with prayers into the rock. Dating back to the second century B.C., the Western Wall later formed part of a larger wall, surrounding the Muslim "Dome of the Rock".
