According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified at a spot outside Jerusalem called Golgotha, which in Aramaic means “place of the skull” . Golgotha would have to have been located outside the city in accordance with Roman and Jewish customs of the time. The Gospels also suggest that Jesus was crucified outside of the city. The exact location of Golgotha is uncertain, but most scholars prefer either the spot now covered by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or a hillock called Gordon’s Calvary just north of the Damascus Gate. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the traditional site, dating back to the early fourth century AD in the writings of Eusebius. However, the problem with knowing exactly where Jesus was crucified is that Jerusalem has experienced a massive amount of change in the past two thousand years, and major sections of the city itself have been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. Ultimately, the exact location of where Jesus was crucified does not matter, and there is no biblical reason to revere it.
