The holiest of Jewish sites is not a synagogue, but a wall. This does not withhold religious Jews from using the plaza and the wall as an outdoor praying facility and is an excellent place to observe their prayers.
The Western Wall, or Kotel as it is also called, initially was built by Jews as a wall in support of the Temple Mount on which stood their second temple. After destruction of this temple by the Romans in 70 CE, Jews went in to exile. When they returned, they did not know the exact location of the Temple Mount, so they avoided coming to the area at all. This is still the reason for some fanatic religious Jews not to enter Temple Mount, as they fear to thread on the sacred ground on which only high priests are allowed to thread. They did, however, start praying at the outer wall.
