 Many Christians believe with the Catholic Church that the crucifixion site is now in the north-west corner of the old city.  Outside the present walls however is another site maintained first by Armenians and now by a British Protestant group and is called appropriately, "The Garden Tomb".  Who knows if it is the right place, but at least it is not gaudy and covered with gold and incense and has an air of reverence. This is called Skull Hill and can be seen from the garden.   This is the view of the tomb coming from Skull Hill.  Things look pretty spartan in the winter.
