West of Temple 1

West of Temple 1

View looking north at the southwestern corner of the Temple Mount area.

On the left (west) two towers of the Antonia Fortress are visible.

Note especially the bridge—located just left of center—that connects the western hill to the Temple Mount.  Remnants of one of the arches (Wilson’s Arch) are still in existence.

In the lower right portion of the image, the south end of the stadium is visible.
