Top Ten Holy Land sites in Jerusalem

4. The Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb is a site discovered in 1867 and is an alternate location of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for some Christians. The Garden contains a rock formation in the shape of a skull, perhaps the one mentioned in the bible as Golgotha or also known as “Calvary.”

The Garden Tomb provides a quiet and beautiful ambiance for prayer and reflection. There are places to sit and rest along the Garden, drinking water and pleasant tourist facilities, including provision for the disabled with very good wheelchair access along the entire grounds. The site of Garden Tomb has gained great popularity specially with Evangelical and Protestant Christians.

Location: Jerusalem, outside the Old City walls
