Golgotha

Golgotha, also called Calvary is a skull-shaped hill in ancient Jerusalem, the site of Jesus’ crucifixion.

The hill of execution was outside the city walls of Jerusalem, apparently near a road and not far from the sepulchre where Jesus was buried. Its exact location 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.
