The Robinson's Arch is an ancient architectural marvel located near the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It was discovered by American biblical scholar Edward Robinson in 1838 during his exploration of the Holy Land. The arch is named after him in recognition of his significant contribution to the study of the ancient city of Jerusalem.
