“Could be the place”

Reviewed April 12, 2013 via mobile

You might need to use your imagination here. From the tomb garden it looks like a skull and that's about all I can say. The best bit was getting there via the Muslim market stalls, where we bought fresh fruit and fresh bread for a few coins great value.

“Bus terminal”

Reviewed November 5, 2012

It may or not be Golgotha, in any event it is a bus terminal now, which is smelly and dirty. On the plus side there are market stalls selling lots of sweets.

“Resurrection”

Reviewed May 3, 2012

I viewed this from within the gates of The Garden Tomb!! A place I went to almost daily while there for 3 months! A very special serene garden,places set apart to have a time to pray, take communion and ponder Golgotha and what transpired there over 2000 years ago.

“Interesting, Maybe”

Reviewed September 29, 2011

This site is shown to you from the Garden area of the Garden Tomb. There is a Muslim Cemetery on top and a parking lot below. It does look like a skull and there is a tomb nearby.
