Artifacts: The Site of Golgotha

The cave-like opening at the top left, just north of the old city walls, is known as Jeremiah's Grotto. To the right are two smaller openings resembling eyes that presumably identify the site as Golgotha (meaning "Skull" in Aramaic). Christians call this place "Calvary" from the Latin word for skull, "Calvaria."
