Description The Second Temple (Hebrew: Bet Hamikdash), Solomon's Temple, stood on the Temple Mount (Mt. Moriah) in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, between 516 BCE and 70 CE. This exquisite olive wood model captures the majesty and historical significance of the Second Jewish Temple.
The temple was originally constructed under King Solomon and served as a central place of religious worship and rituals. The model highlights the temple's role in history and its iconic design inspired by biblical texts.
Historical Significance:
Destruction in 70 CE: Destroyed by Roman troops under Titus during the Great Jewish Revolt.
Subsequent Eras: The remains were repurposed for Roman palaces, Byzantine churches, and eventually became the site for the Dome of the Rock, built between 687–691 CE.
Western Wall: Part of the Second Temple, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall), remains a sacred site for Jews and a lasting legacy of the temple's grandeur.
