We saw the limestone hill, (Skull Hill) which many revere as Golgotha, site of the crucifixion, today it is just behind the bus station.
The Garden Tomb – the large patch of brick-work to the right of the doorway is where they have had to reconstruct the wall, since excavation. They have not found the stone that would have covered the doorway, although they did have a smaller one on display. There is a box just outside the tomb, to aid people in stepping inside. But we were told that the gulley between the tomb and that small wall is where the stone would have been placed.
