It's part of the retaining wall of the Second Temple.
Jesus likely walked nearby and visited the Temple.

Still very much present today.
Jesus wept over Jerusalem here (Luke 19:41) and prayed in Gethsemane before his arrest (Matthew 26:36).
You can visit the Garden of Gethsemane, with ancient olive trees (some estimated to be over 1,000 years old โ possibly grown from root systems dating back to Jesusโ time).
