Golgotha (Modern Site within Jerusalem, Israel)
Jesus was crucified at this “Place of the Skull” near Jerusalem. The distinct site name faded, absorbed into Jerusalem under Roman and Christian influence and marked by the 4th-century Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Within Jerusalem, Israel today, this church draws Christian pilgrims from around the world. Stone slabs worn smooth by countless kneeling worshippers mark this somber biblical location.
