The Holy Temple in Jerusalem is one of the many
structures found on the historic Temple Mount, located in the Old City
of Jerusalem. In ancient times the Holy Temple was the main centre of
Jewish worship and spirituality. The First Temple was constructed in
1000 BCE by King Solomon and damaged completely in 586 BCE by the
Babylonians. The Second Temple was constructed in the same place around
516 BCE by Ezra, Zerubavel and Nechemiah and since destroyed in 70 CE by
the Romans.
