Plugat Hakotel Street in Jerusalem's Old City Jewish Quarter.
The Broad Wall is an ancient defensive wall, seven meters thick, in Jerusalem's Old City, today the Jewish Quarter, bringing together First Temple period antiquities with a modern residential area. Unearthed in the 1970's by Israeli archaeologist Nahman Avigad, it is dated to the reign of King Hezekiah in the late 8th century BCE. A tall marker on the building on the left shows the presumed height of the wall. The wall was most likely built ahead of the expected invasion of Judea by Sennacherib and is referred to in Nehemiah 3:8 and Isaiah 22:9 - 10.
