Western Wall Tunnel

After the Six Day War, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Israel began the excavations of the wall. The excavations lasted almost twenty years.

The tunnel exposes a total 500m of the wall. It runs many layers below existing homes and businesses.

The big stone in the center is the largest stone of the walls.
It weighs over 570 tons!

We made it out, alive!

Little did we know we'd be spending almost as much time below Israel as on top of it.
