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.
