Jerusalema Hauakirik - Church of the Holy Sepulchre (-er)

http://www.bibleplaces.com/holysepulcher.htm


Originally built by the mother of Emperor Constantine in 330 A.D., the Church of the Holy Sepulcher commemorates the hill of crucifixion and the tomb of Christ's burial.
On grounds of tradition alone, this church is the best candidate for the location of these events. The Garden Tomb was not identified as such until the 19th century.

600 m from Damascus Gate or Sha'ar Shkhem Square
