The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel ( Arabic: Ha'it Al-Buraq, ' The Buraq Wall') is located in the Old City of Jerusalem.

It is a relatively small western segment of the walls surrounding the area called the Temple Mount (or Har Habayit) by Jews, Christians and most Western sources, and known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary (Al-Haram ash-Sharif).
