the temple built by Herod the great stood there.
Or where do you think the 2nd temple stood?
Act 21:30-32, "And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut. And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them.
The soldiers ran down from the Roman encampment that the Jews call the Temple Mount.
